The finished pumpkins!!!




.....and a painting Abigail did with leftover paint!! She was happy to explain why she painted the sky ALL the way down to the grass (her art teacher has taught them all that the sky is NOT just a line of blue at the top of the paper but that actually if you look, it goes all the way to the horizon, where it meets the ground (or whatever it touches first) - I think this is an important skill to learn as an artist and she was very proud to have learned it :)

Painting pumpkins!!!

Sam saw me looking at this blog yesterday and thought it looked soooo much fun!!! So while we were at Saver on Foods, we picked up some mini pumpkins just to paint!!! This afternoon is windy and nasty outside and very Fall-like!! The perfect weather to do a Fall craft - like painting pumpkins :)

A work in progress....






I've been working on the 'base' of my mini album for the online class I took last week - 'Fall in Love' .......now to do the fun part and fill it with all the interesting 'stuff'....answer all the juicy prompts, journal the memories, get creative and collage!!!

Touches of Fall......









a few snapshots of Fall touches around our home.....

Edited to add that most of the things in these pictures come from Homesense lol - my Sister Karen will be just THRILLED to hear that - she used to work for them ;) I LOVE Homesense :)

Susie whips up an afternoon snack....

One thing I am loving about geocaching is that it leads you in to some places that you would not see otherwise!! I never knew this park existed and it was lovely! I must have driven by it a hundred times!!! And who knew there was treasure buried there!!!?? ;)

Another geocache find!!!!






I didn't feel very well this weekend so we cancelled our plans and instead we just went out to find a geacache fairly close to the grocery store we had to head to. This was a GREAT find - and the kids were THRILLED!!! We had taken things to trade with and so they were really pleased that they got to pick something to keep and they exchanged several things from their stash and took one thing each. Sam took a yellow ball and Susannah took some pencils. In exchange we left three things and signed the log book. It was a really good cache and the kind that we plan to make because I think this is the kind of cache that is best - adults are happy just to sign a book but kids LOVE treasure and it makes it soooooo much more fun if there is something to find - this is the third real 'treasure' find we have had now and the kids really get excited but I have to say this was the BEST one!!! :)

3 tired little ones.....

New sign for the bathroom????


We found this piece of garbage on the floor and couldn't resist snapping a picture!!! I joked that we should frame it and hang it in the bathroom ;)

Smile cookie monster!!!
