Where's fall

I think we missed fall in Georgia. One day we were wearing Capri's and shorts and the next we are in sweaters and jackets. Something happened to the nice cool days of jeans and short sleeves. Come back fall.

What a week

It has been a busy week around here and with a new dog a new routine. The first couple of nights Cody was home were rough. He wasn't use to us or his new home and woke me up several times but once he settled in things calmed down. He is doing great now and even slept until 7:30am this morning. Thank goodness. The kids are loving him and sometimes he has to go to his home to escape. (I wish I could fit in his home-haha).

We had a nice visit this week with Jay's neice Rachel. She won Ethan's heart by playing football with him and his friends. He can't wait until she visits again.

Today we finally got our pumpkins. Ethan and Addison chose to put faces on there pumpkins.

Sydney wants to carve hers and of course she is over at a friends house and tonight all the girls are going to a Haunted House. It will be her first time going to one and I hope she doesn't get to scared.

What a weekend

I think I need a break from my weekend. It was tiring. We started Friday off with a visit to the doctors. Sydney had a virus. She spent Friday night in my room while we had neighbors over for dinner. Luckily by Saturday she was feeling better and was able to attend her last cheerleading event. After cheerleading Jay dropped me and the girls off at Cici's pizza(Sydney's cheerleading party) while he took Ethan to his last football game. Once that was over we headed home for a quick rest before joining the Lazar's at Cagles Dairy farm for an adventure through the corn maize. The older kids (Evan, Sarah, Sydney, and Ethan) went through the maize by themselves. Ella and Addison stayed with us parents and did a great job of walking through the maize.

Sunday was church and then we went to the other side of town to add a new addition to our family. The kids were thrilled. Hopefully they stay that way.

It is a Bichon Frise puppy. He is 8 week old and right now his name is Cody.

Sunday

We enjoyed a nice outing today after church. We headed to our favorite apple store in Ellijay to get some fresh picked apples. After taste testing all the different kinds we decided to go with a bag of Golden delicious and a bag of Fuji. We also snuck in some apple bread and apple cider. Yummy! This evening after dinner we used our carmel apple kit and made apples. Addison really enjoyed the sprinkles. She had them all over her and the kitchen floor.

Next weekend in we are going to the pumpkin patch.

Fall

I just love fall. I love the leaves changing colors, the cooler temperatures, and Halloween. Our neighbors love to decorate for Halloween and go all out. They win the best house on the block award(from me ). They stared putting up some of their decorations yesterday and they are cool. My kids love watching there house come alive this time of year. I think we might have to hit walmart and see if we can find some cool decorations.

We have noticed today the cooler temperatures are finally getting to Georgia. The kids were all complaining on the way to the bus this morning about how cold they were. Trust me they were dressed for the weather. As soon as we got home I bundled Addison up under a warm blanket and she is chilling on the couch. I am going to get a cup of warm coffee and start my day.

Have a wonderful day everyone.
