needing directions?: October 2008

1. HAPPy FaLL!! I love this time of year.. who doesn't? While most of you enjoyed cooler weather over the summer compared to our lovely temps, if you live in a place like Texas, you can finally go outside and not sweat to death. We can enjoy this full day of nice weather through December sometimes January. (Yes, it does get cold enough in February that we stay inside.) Anyway. I love fall colors: orange, yellow, red, brown.. put them all together and it is quite a site. I love the smell of pumpkin pie. I love to decorate for fall. I love pumpkins and gourds. I love the brisk air in the morning, and actually opening my windows for some of that fresh air in my home. I just love fall. Here are some pictures of my kids decorating pumpkins at a local nursery. We had a lot of fun.

2. Crazy Hair Day. At our little Elementary School they have way too many theme days. A few weeks ago it was crazy hair day. I couldn't talk Rachael into doing it, and I didn't give Emma a choice. I think she had 8 pony tails. She really didn't want her picture taken.. yet again, not a choice. I thought it was cute and fun!

3. Fair. Anyone who knows me, knows I love the fair. Big or small I love them! I grew up raising pigs for the county fair. My grandpa would take us to the rodeo every year in our little town that actually had a PRCA rodeo. FUN TIMES! The great state fair of Texas runs for three weeks and we try to make it there at least once. The big hit this year was the kid farm. Thanks Kayla for coming along! And a huge thanks to Tori for taking Jacob!
