MAYHAM----Pathetic Puppy

Ok, so tonight while we were making dinner I look over at the pantry to see our dog, Keyki, laying on a bag of lumpy potatoes inside of our pantry with THREE bags of treats scattered around her.  Our dog is so pathetic.  Just thought I would share this funny moment with all of you.  Have a laugh and have a day.  :)

2. Pumpkins of every shape and size

3. The smell of cinnamon

4. Pumpkin pie

5. Flannel sheets

8. Candy corn

10. Warm air blowing up through the heater vents!

We went to a pumpkin patch last night for family night and here are our treasures!

Thursday Thought

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” Steve Jobs

Now to DO IT!

Fall, Fall, My Most Favorite Time of All!

This past weekend I worked up these cute little pumpkins using the tutorial found here. I added the hemp because I felt like they needed a little bit of vine on them. I love them! Keyki loves them too, when I brought them outside to take photos she snatched one off of the bench and I had to chase her around the yard to get it back!  I also spent all morning this morning cleaning out my tomatoes and pumpkin patch. These are the lovely pumpkins that I found (literally) in all the overgrowth.

Pumpkins make me smile:)

Thursday Thought...Life is good!

Family Room re-do

For a few years now I have been wanting to paint our family room.  The time finally came! I'm glad we waited too because last year I picked up a bunch of paint chips and hung them on the wall so that I could decide which one I liked the best.  They were all shades of tan and gray.  I guess I was in a gray mood last year.  Well, I pulled them all down just a few months ago (classy huh, they were looking like wall art or something after that long!).  We went to Lowes and just picked a color. It's called "Betsy Ross House Moss" it's very cheerful and warm and not gray at all.  Of course since the paint is moss green the forest green carpet had to go...that may be the reason why my projects take some time to happen, because one thing always leads to another.

 Here is our finished family room!

Well, almost finished.  I need to hang the pictures back up and figure out curtains. I hope it doesn't take me years to do that!

Happy Birthday!

We had a fun day yesterday for Katie's birthday! We went to see the final Harry Potter movie, which was awesome! Katie wanted to decorate her own cake so after the movie we worked on her cake, with all of us helping it didn't take much time at all. I think it turned out great!  We took her out to dinner at the Cracker Barrel, then home for presents and cake.  It was a fun day.  Happy Birthday Katie! 

We didn't think that Kirsten would make it to Katie's birthday but she did.  The baby should be arriving on Thursday because her doctor has scheduled her to be induced.
