When Chaos Breaks Out

So today I was working on some projects and I was letting the wildflowers do as they please. I wasn't paying to much attention to them and they seem to be having a wonderful time. After finishing my project, I went into their room to see what was going on....
Ya thats gonna be fun picking up!! What do you do with your kids while you try to get something done?
Today we also tried the muffin tin lunches, and they seemed to really go for them! Many of my bloggy friends have tried them out, so it was my turn. They really had a great time!!

Autumn Open House

My bloggy friend Jill over at http://jill-inc.blogspot.com/2008/09/fall-home-dining-living-room.html (she has several posts if you want to scroll thru them) did a Home Fall Tour, and she has a pretty great fall decor. So that got me into the mood to drag all my fall garb out!! So come along as I guide you thru my humble abode. As usual, you can click on the pictures to enlarge them.
Welcome to my front porch.........

The cute planter that the big pumpkin is sitting in came from Amy Rene's Southern Living at Home...



Into my living room......I put out pictures from past Halloweens on the mantel. My pumpkin collection came from craft fairs, hobby lobby, fairs etc... The orange doilies were made by my Grandma Annabell who past away while I was in college. I never thought that I would be able to use them because my house is not orange, but Fall is the perfect time!
I tried my hand at making this cute sign I found on a craft site.....

Welcome to the dining room!

The table doily came from my vacation to Nova Scotia 4 years ago, pre-children.
This Halloween hanging came from my dear mother-in-love....isn't it cute!!
The buffet.....

The haunted house came from Party Lite, my mom got me the pumpkin dish and Matthew got me this stick tree last year for Christmas. I just try to dress it up according to the season. The Halloween scarf was Matthew's grandmothers.

Well, that's about it! I would love to see your fall decor too!!

Prancing thru the Pumpkin Patch


Saturday my parents and I took the wildflowers to the Happy Apple Farm to pick pumpkins. I had never been there so I didn't know what to expect. I was happily surprised!! It is this darling little farm that grows apples, blackberries, raspberries, and pumpkins. We were able to go out into the fields and gather as many pumpkin that we wanted. They take you on a hay ride back to the little store where you weigh your pumpkins. They had a restaurant that served brisket sandwiches and homemade pies and cobblers from the fruit that they grow. Needless to say, we stayed for lunch! Yummy!! The only downfall was it was the coldest day that we have seen this fall season....a brisk 43 degrees!! It was a really fun time and the wildflowers enjoyed it a lot! This is going to become a fall family tradition for sure!!
On our front step before we left....
