Saturday Sweetness....

So I just thought I would briefly share with you my Saturday morning. We had a great time together as a family! We spent a good two hours outside at this beautiful park called Lakes Park. Every year they do this thing called the Halloween Extravaganza and it is so much fun! You can buy tickets to jump in the bounce houses, or do the hay ride, or go down huge inflatable side! The options are endless! We opted as a family to go for a nice nature walk! We were shocked at how much joy Austin got out of walking! He saw a heron of some sort and we saw a baby Alligator! It was peaceful and a blessing for our family! We walked through the pumpkin patch and scare crow competition! We even came across an entry from the company I work for! I almost died laughing when I saw the face of a guy I work with in the van window! It was too much! But they did a good job on it! So here are our pictures from our day of family fun!



I love this of my boys minus one! (Austin wasn't with us any longer, his dad had picked him up for the day)




I love the way his hair stands on end when he slides down the slide!!!





My monkey boy!!



<3 these guys so much!!

Austin liked this little pumpkin and wanted his picture taken with it!



And here is the scarecrow contest put together by the people I work with! This still cracks me up! (you would have to know the guy in the picture to know why)




My handsome boys! We had such a great time!




Mr. or Ms. Baby Alligator!



Austin loved this bird (whatever it was) He loves all animals!

And this is Ethan having enough with the pictures, the giant pumpkins, and Daddy!

  
So we had so much fun that we will be going back again this weekend! I hope you all enjoyed the pictures :) Have a Blessed day!

Another little touch of Fall....

I found this mirror at one of our local thrift stores and immediately snatched it up! I knew it would look pretty in white! So I carefully took it apart and set the frame down and spray painted it white. Below are the before and after pictures :)



Before :)

                                                     I spray painted the frame white.

Another view.

I figured that this would eventually find a home on my dresser with some pillar candles and some sort of filler around the base of the candles, but for now it has a home here.

On my cute table in my living room. It holds my latest fall creation!

The materials needed for this project were fairly cheap.

Hurricane Vase - $1 GW (I already had this from a previous purchase at the GW)

4 Pack of fall leaves - $1 ea (I got mine from the Dollar Tree. They come in 150 count bags)

Silk fall leaves - I had these left over from my first fall project here so they were free (but the silk leaves cost $1 ea at the Dollar Tree.)

So roughly I spent $4 on this project. Not bad if I say so myself!

Oh and we can't forget my first Fall creation of the year....

All made with Dollar Tree silk flowers and leaves!

My husband now has the fall fever! He is ready for us to completely unleash fall decor in our house! He says it is making him excited because he knows the cool weather is coming. We live in SW Florida so this gives us both a sense of fall inside even though we can't experience it outside!

Tomorrow I will be uploading the pictures from my Bible study project! I am linking this project up to The CSI Project's The "Fall" Challenge. I hope everyone has a Blessed day!

Edited to show that I am linking this up to Saw Dust & Paper Scraps , what-ever linky party!
