{Fall}ing in Love.

I honestly can't believe that November is almost halfway over. Craziness, I tell you! But then again, I guess the past month or so has kind of been a blur of sleepless nights (which are admittedly mostly my own fault, and not the baby's), breastfeeding sessions, and dirty diapers. Good Lord, there are a lot of diapers!

Whenever I see the beautiful fall leaves that adorn the trees this time of the year, it reminds me that God is truly an artist.

So, before the frost comes in, the leaves die out, and winter arrives, I thought that I would post some ideas and activities that scream "fall," along with some pictures of us mixed in. Enjoy :)

My lil' pumpkin butt picking her first pumpkin. Isn't her hat precious? It was made by her wonderful grandmother. You can get one here.).

What a lovely way to visualize all the little things that you are thankful for. From Simply Vintagegirl.

Make a Pumpkin Pie Monster smoothie, from OhSheGlows. I made this the other day for my hubby and I, and it was scrumptious. Tastes exactly like pumpkin pie and is healthy. Say what?!

Gavin with his pumpkin last year. He has since stopped posing, or even stopped moving long enough for us to take decent pictures. *See picture below for comparison*

                                                                              LOL.

Don a cute cardigan and style your hair in a messy side braid, like this. How to is here. I am loving the red hair, too. I smell hair dye in my near future...:)

 

Steal Borrow one of your husband's plaid shirts, and tie it up like this. Which, FYI does NOT look cute if you have huge boobs and no butt (story of my life)...the back of the shirt turns out all long and poofy.

Because pugs need $80 blazers, too. Found at etsy, of course.

Make a batch of Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows. They taste awesome in s'mores, lattes, hot chocolate, etc.

And, definitely, definitely make this. The recipe says that it will last about 2 weeks in the fridge...but, trust me, it will not last you that long. Especially if you use it to make these cupcakes. And then eat the rest of it with a spoon. Which I'm not saying I did ;).
                                        

"Mama, I make vegetables!"

                                               These jammies don't fit her anymore! Ahhh!

Now, go outside, drink some cider, and jump in a big ol' pile of leaves! Doooo iiiiiiit.

Peace!
