A Little Taste of Fall

 We got a little taste of fall this last weekend.  The temperature dropped enough to wear long sleeves and drink hot chocolate.  It got hot again on Tuesday, but I was in heaven while it lasted.  I think I just get excited when the seasons change.  I get bored when things stay the same for too long.  Usually spring and fall don't stick around long enough for me to get sick of them, so I'm a huge fan of both.  To celebrate, I broke out our fall decorations, and even made some new ones.  I saw this book page pumpkin on a blog a while ago, so I decided to make some.  I love how they turned out.

I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do with our fireplace mantel.  The ledge isn't really big enough for anything, but it looks too bare without any decorations.  If we owned this place I might consider framing the mirror, but since we're renting this will have to do for now.  I think some candle sticks could be cute too.

These are the blocks I made last year.  I still love them.

And here's some pictures of Lucas being cute.  He has seriously grown up so much in the last few months.  He's definitely not a baby anymore.  He's always surprising us with some new word he learned, or doing something we didn't think he knew how to do.  Look how grown up he is here swinging in the big boy swing.

And he loves to do the airplane swing.  He is so funny.

But no matter how old he gets, he'll always be our little baby, and he'll probably be riding his Mater until he's old enough to drive the car.
