Leaves are falling all around!

I have been wanting to get out and take some pictures of the kids with all the amazing colors of fall around here, but things just kept getting in the way. Since we are expecting our first snow fall tonight, I figured that we had better get it done. Too bad we waited so long though. It was cold, windy and most of the color was already gone. Good thing the kids are still cute! :)

I can't believe how big they are all getting. Some days are really hard, but when I have a picture like this to look at, I can't help but be thankful for all that I have. I really am a lucky mom!

More sticky, freaky treats!

I came across this recipe while looking for something to make for our cub scout Halloween party and just couldn't resist. They were such a big hit that I'm seriously considering making them for our Adult Murder Mystery party. The boys were totally grossed out! :)

We decided to tackle the caramel apples again this year. We went a little more fancy than normal though. They tasted really good and looked pretty good, but they never really hardened and so it made it really hard to eat them. We all did our best and soldiered through it though. :)

It's Fall!!!!!!

I was so excited when the weather changed and we officially hit Fall! The boys were not thrilled that instead of our usual scary decor, I opted to do something a little nicer and that I could keep up all the way through Thanksgiving. I am happy with how it turned out and feel like it makes the inside of the house feel warmer and more cozy! :)

I attempted the glitter pumpkins this year. Way excited with how they turned out and how easy they were to do.

The kids were all very happy to decorate some cute pumpkin and leaf cookies for a family activity. Even more happy to eat them though! :)

I absolutely love this time of year. The weather turns and everything changes. The colors outside and inside. The food gets warmer and all you want to do is wrap up in a blanket and snuggle with the one's you love. It is the perfect preseason to the next one.
