Just one of those weeks....

 Well let me clarify it really hasn't been a terrible week. Just one when you want to get back in your pj's and drink one more cup of coffee. There have been moments of tearing my hair out to just keeling over in laughter.  Here is a list of the few:

1) I fried my laptop with milk from my cereal (sooooo stupid I know!)
2) My eldest son has been covered in hives for two days (this is a end of the world issue for a teen!)
3) I am fighting a cold AGAIN
4) My youngest decided to tattoo his body with (thank God washable) markers
5) I left for town, got were I needed to be, had to return home for my wallet
6) my youngest decides to entertain me while dancing on top of our new toilet paper rolls (hilarious!!)

Of course there are some random things that have gone on that I just have had to close my eyes and breathe. But first I am just grateful that though a weird and random week....Life is still good, we are very blessed, and God still remains to be faithful.
So one more day till Saturday. Lets see what it holds! LOL
Oh....and I love my hubby. He has ordered me a new laptop. He knows it would be TOO hard for me to not stay up with my Facebook snooping and Blog stalking ;-)

Finally Fall!

Sure enough, as soon as October 1st hit, Fall arrived. It is a beautiful transformation. Crisp mornings, soft rain, leaves changing into robust Autumn colors.........and finally me decorating my fireplace!

I was determined to make a difference this year.



Last year was such a toughie for us.



Counting every penny. No extra's for the Holiday's. Kinda makes a soul struggle to enjoy in the festive fun.



But the Lord is good....He never forgets a promise. He provides for His children. So this year I will rejoice in the goodness of the Lord.



Here is my finished product. I had so much fun. I made my pictures and used items from around the house. I also used different pumpkins to add variety.


A trip to Michael's and...."Whalah!"..... I made my first Wreath!


My pictures are homemade . I found and printed the leave trilogy and then made the big one from deco leftovers.





 I feel ready for Fall!! Now I am going to start going through my recipes. It's time to start baking :-)
Happy Fall Everyone!
