did i mention how much i LOVE the fall??? i love it so much! i love to go to the store and buy the cinnamon scented pine cones. i love that the kids can go to the park and collect acorns and buckeyes. i love that the sun is shining and that the air has such a clean, crisp feel. i love the smell of wood-burning fire in the air. i love roasting marshmallows in our backyard. i love making hot chocolate and sitting by our fire in the evening when daddy comes home. i love making holiday crafts. i love sweaters. i love cute boots. i love making treats with pumpkin in them. i love making caramel dipped apples. i love making halloween costumes. i love going to clam bakes {something that ohio-ans like to do}. I LOVE IT ALL!so i found these super cute pumpkins on holly's blog, and had to make some myself. since this is the first time i have had a mantle, i love to decorate it!!! we've got the pumpkins, acorns {thanks to J & G}, buckeyes, cinnamon scented pine cones, and some cute beaded garland. i can honestly say that i feel giddy.

I get a giddy feeling too when Fall hits. I'm sure Matt remembers me playing holiday music in September. Yesterday I was cleaning and had on a Harry Connick, Jr. Christmas CD :o) By the way, what are buckeyes? (Love the mantle decor. I have that picture of J&G on my picture table!
I love fall in the mid-west! It's so beautiful! I miss the smell of burning leaves. Please enjoy Fall for me!
Ahhhh, fall - gorgeous, but fleeting. I just had a crisp, fresh glass of cider with my lunch. Delicious!
