I Love the Fall!!

On some Fridays I go babysit the kids I used to nanny. I love it because my sis-n-law and hubby come with me and we always do a dessert and craft. This week I decided to do Fall related things. We went to the store and bought warm doughnuts and apple cider and then made pumpkin jars. They were so cute and turned out amazing. All you do is get a jar, paint the outside with glue and put orange streamer/crepe paper on it. Then cut out black construction paper and make a cute face. I got battery candles so they were safer and put them in the jar and they turned out really cute!!!
On Saturday we drove for an hour to this amazing pumpkin patch and I loved every minute of it... i was like a little kid again!!! I have never seen so many pumpkins in my life. My mother-n-law bought one of those amazing huge cinderella pumpkins... it is probably like 50 pounds. We also got cute white pumpkins that we are going to paint and make cute! It was actually a really cold weekend and I loved it. We bought amazingly fresh pumpkin bread and hot apple cider at the pumpkin patch too. I love the Fall!!

Oh fun! I want to do that with you! And also I LOVE the craft ideas! You are too cute! I'm pretty positive that we need to live close to each other so that we can do them together. I miss you and want to play.

You are so clever! This all looks so fun. Miss you. It was so fun being in the preschool together! Hey could you pass on to Hattie that I am so sad not to be invited to her blog! =) Thanks, and have a good time! p.s. I have been sick, but hopefully will start getting better. I've lost about 10 lbs since I really can't eat anything, but thats okay!
