Fall Fun


There is almost something magical about fall. This year the magic made me almost creative. I have never considered myself very "crafty," but I think the fall tree almost qualifies me for that list! Brandon and I had such fun "cutting" or tree and finding the perfect decorations. It is the start of a new tradition for our family.

Fall is also fun because after 10 months of waiting there are finally pumpkins again. To celebrate the beginning of October I ate a slice of pumpkin pie. The next day I had pumpkin bars. Then pumpkin soup. Soon I decided to see how many days I could eat something pumpkin in a row. 21 days! Some of the favorites so far have been pumpkin cinnamon rolls, coconut pumpkin soup, and a delicious pumpkin bread from the book Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day.

Our black widow and dead husband (since black widows kill their mates after mating) costume won the neighborhood costume contest. Thanks mom!
