FALL....

Fall...i know i'm rushing it just alittle but fall is my absolute favorite time of the year! There are so many things that come to my mind just thinking about fall, the mornings & evenings have cooled down some & it feels wonderful to sit beside a campfire & roast marshmellows & drink hot chocolate...

Dawson is thinking he's alittle too close & it's alittle too hot=)

Aalyvia picked me a few flowers & before she got them to me a little yellow butterfly landed on them...

the kids just got home from school & wanted their after-school snack(munching on homemade granola bars)...ahhh yes & with fall comes canning,i'm always excited to get started & love doing it(towards the end of the season it becomes a bit of a drag)but i love the fact that my pantry is filled to MAX CAPACITY with great food that i can pull off the shelves & literally have a meal ready & on the table for my family in 10min.!So far i've canned sweet garlic dill pickles(not pictured)...

SALSA

PASTA SAUCE

CHUNKY TACO SOUP....& still ALOT more to do...

today i got my fall decor out,i don't have much but it still gives our home the fall vibe=)

i got these 2 primative pumkins brand new @ a garage sale this yearfor 2.00 each(love!)

i also start burning my candles more,with the evenings getting darker,earlier again i love sitting w/ a good book,have the candles burning while snuggled under a blanket(that is after the kids are in bed for the night).

i rearranged my living room furniture today too,i like when the love seats are closer & it gives it a cozier feel to the room.

my boys snuggled up in their blankets=)

now i need to go snuggle under my warm blanket w/ a book & hot choc., my windows are open & the cool eve. breeze is blowing through the house,my candles are burning,my house smells yummy,(the kids are in bed!).All thats left to say is good night & good-bye for now...
