Fall

I LOVE fall. It is by far my most favorite season. The fall decor, the changing leaves, hayrides, McDonald's pumpkin pie, and of course the football games. What's not to love? This weekend we took Connor to a local garden stores 'Pumpkin Fest'. The pony ride was not a hit. He wanted nothing to do with them. The firetruck that was there on the other hand, was a huge hit. This was no surprise to me. He does love anything with a motor.

Pumpkin Patch

My thumb is not very green. We attempted a garden again this summer with just cucumbers and tomatoes. The cucumbers were a huge failure. The tomatoes weren't too bad, but not enough at once to make some yummy salsa.

The pumpkins that we didn't really plant however are doing great. We have 5 good sized pumpkins and 1 that is just beginning to grow. I love seeing Connor go over to them, point, and babble something very serious about them!

I can't wait until they are ready to decorate the front porch!

Sew Fun!

After years of "borrowing" my moms sewing machine, I decided it was time to get my own! After much research and advise from many friends, I finally made my decision about 3 weeks ago. I have already had so much fun with it, as it is slightly more updated than my moms (she got it when I was 2!). Here is my first real creation, a gift for a co-worker of Ken's. I hope she likes it!I was actually shocked that I completed it in about 3 hours one late night! I guess all of the cutting patterns and sewing when I was 10 has paid off!! I'm sure I will be making more gifts to come!

This is the inside, it is actually reversible!

Have a great week!
