Rainy Monday Afternoon

I am sitting at the computer...listening to it rain. Probably something I'm going to be hearing a lot of for the next day or so thanks to Ida {who is now thankfully only a tropical storm}.

I have been slacking when it comes to the blog lately. Not because of lack of want to...more like lack of inspiration. The last few days have been hectic and tiring, and I haven't had the time {or energy} to do anything fun or inspirational!

Last week, I spent a few days out of town to attend a funeral. And when I got back, I was so exhausted that it has taken me all weekend to recuperate and try to get back into a semi-normal routine.

And now the weather is throwing everything off. Henry's school closed an hour early today, and I'm guessing that they are going to cancel school tomorrow just to be safe. During a normal week, that would be fine....but I had a doctor's appointment today and Grant is going to the dentist to have a procedure done on his tooth tomorrow. Plus, there is no school or preschool on Wednesday for Veteran's Day. That means two more days of sitting inside listening to the rain {that is if I can hear it over my extremely loud children}.

Maybe all this time off {and rain} will give me a chance to get crafty with the boys! I still haven't started working on these:

And I think the boys will really like getting all sticky and messy with me. I just hope I can handle all three of them when they get messy...and keep Eli from eating too much Mod Podge!

Well, I'm off to start laundry...because, you know, it is Monday!

Hopefully I will have some great {and SUPER messy} pictures of our pumpkin project to share with you tomorrow!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins Everywhere!

Fall weather has made its appearance here in the deep south {again}.

Every time we get a little cool snap, it really puts me in the fall spirit! It makes me want to cook up some Veggie Soup and bake lots of yummy stuff.

It also makes me what to have pumpkins...everywhere!

*********************************

On the breakfast table, just for decorations.



In the pantry, waiting to be used in a SUPER yummy dessert.


In the cabinet, waiting to transform cookie dough into beautiful pumpkin shaped cookies.



On the front porch, sadly uncarved....but still holding pumpkin seeds.


In the craft cabinet, waiting to be decoupaged into {possibly} something beautiful.


Pumpkins, Pumpkins Everywhere!
And a ton of baking and crafting to put me even more in the fall spirit!
Now I just need to find the time, energy, and recipes!


What do you love to do in the fall?
