If my honey were to die today I think I would forever remember him as he is in this picture.
He's so freaking handsome. I just had to say it. He's attractive.
I love the fall. Our neighborhood has HUGE trees in most of the yards with TONS of orange and yellow leaves piled high below their branches. I love it. I love the cool air. I love that sweaters have been pulled out again. And Halloween! I'm sad that we can't be with any family this year, but still. HALLOWEEN.
And I love that my birthday come just before Halloween. Because sometimes I've been really lucky to receive holiday decor as gifts. This pumpkin was from Mama Strong last year. Love it.
And my Mom gave me these witch shoes last year. She's so sweet! I mentioned once that I wanted to collect witch stuff and since has found a witch gift each year. Love them. Kind of wish I had shoes just like these!
Maybe we'll be home and will actually give candy out this year:). That would be a first. I hope the little churchlynns enjoy trick or treating. But I'm worried. Jo just notified me that she no longer wants to be a panda bear princess. She doesn't want her face painted, she doesn't want to be silly, she does not want to dress up and get candy. As of today she wants nothing to do with it. Does that mean I can be a panda bear princess and take her trick or treating place? I'm willing.
We carved pumpkins a week ago for FHE.
They started growing hair out of their mouths and melting disgusting fluids onto our counter tops. So they are now in the garbage. Actually by now they're at the local landfill. But here they are before their mutations took over.
Ryan's pirate is pretty sweet. I named mine "Bella" because she can't quite close her mouth and looks a little like she's grown some rabbit teeth. Ry asked Jo what face her pumpkin should have. Sad. A sad face. What kid chooses that?
She was pretty stinkin' cute carrying around her tiny pumpkin for the next few days.
And here's Maggie in the super-cute Halloween onesie Jen sent her, complete with ballerina socks, also sent by Jen.
Another thing I absolutely love about fall is the harvest. We don't have a garden or fruit trees, but we know nice people who do. We've been given apples, tomatoes, peaches, plums, and peppers. I just finished drying lots of the apples. So yummy.
And FYI- Ryan did not go to school dressed in the below attire. It was crazy hair day and when he refused to wear the shown wig I posted it for his students to see. Boring old Ryan. The pictures were from the Strong Family Halloween Party a couple of weeks ago.
Happy Septober!
