Fall-ing All Over the Place

September 27, 2010 |

Hello, pumpkins!

image

Sorry for disappearing, we’ve been enjoying a few unseasonably warm days!

image

At the zoo with cousins,

image

at the pumpkin patch with friends,

image

replacing morning blogging with wagon rides,

image

and night blogging with bonfires. 🙂

image

Sweaters and jeans one day,

image

short sleeves and skirts the next…

image

that’s fall in Chicago for ya.

image

I’m not really doing Halloween this year, just decorating for fall

image

this way I can leave it all up until November! 😉

image

Since we were preparing to move last fall, I don’t have much in the way of decorations.

image

But that’s fine, I’ve shopped the house, used real pumpkins and squash, and sticks from around the yard.

imageimage

and made my own with help from the dollar store!

image

We’ve been fall-ing all over the place,

here’s to apple cider, hoodies, and the start of lots of family gatherings!

    Sometimes those little getaways can so refreshing! And I'd have to agree that fall in Chicago is pretty great.

    I really like the black pumpkin. It adds some pop and pizazz with out being over the top.Your girls look adorable on the 'realistic' frog.

    We have the same weather in Ohio - 90's last Friday, 60's on Saturday! I love the sweatshirt and apple cider time of year. Your autumn decorations are lovely and I am so happy you can enjoy fall with your adorable children.
