HAIR CANDY BY JOSEPHINE HALLOWEEN THEME

Its October now so I thought it would be wise to start some Halloween bows. Most of the Halloween bows have either a foam center or a eraser center. Also, I had some excess flower buttons so I decided to utilize them too.

HAIR CANDY BY JOSEPHINE

HAPPY BELATED FIRST DAY OF FALL

Its been kind of hectic around here with school and dance class starting. Also, I've been canning my buns off trying to preserve as much as I possibly could from this year's garden and a huge box of peaches my husband decided to buy.

I know the first day of fall was Tuesday so I'm a little late.

HAPPY BELATED FIRST DAY OF FALL!!!

MR. SNEDDEN & MRS SNEDDEN

Yes. I still go by Roeper because I love Texas. Hahaha. Get it?

JOSCELINE'S TURKEY CHARACTER

Notice the 2 homegrown decorating pumpkins from my only surviving volunteer pumpkin plant.

All of my other pumpkin plants didn't make it.

HARVESTING SUNFLOWER SEEDS

There you have it. I really went overboard with the pumpkins this year. I think I have:

28 decorating pumpkins (because they are so darn cute)

2 homegrown decorating pumpkins (from my volunteer plant)

6 pie pumpkins (for... you guessed it... pies)

13 medium pumpkins (canning)

4 large pumpkins (carving)

2 insanely large pumpkins (anger management)

55 Pumpkins = My dream of having a pumpkin patch on my front yard being fullfilled

***Or you can use this equation***

55 pumpkins: about $100.00

Time to find and buy all these pumpkins: 2 days

Expression on husband's face when he came back from his Army weekend drill: PRICELESS

HAPPY BELATED FIRST DAY OF FALL!!!

DOLLY SODS BLUEBERRY PICKING

Last week, we were suppose to go blueberry picking but decided to wait until this week.
The weather was great but very windy.

We literally sat in a massive blueberry field which happened to have some flat rocks so we could eat lunch.

TIME TO GO HOME

No. Lindsay didn't fall on the rock and I was a horrible mother and took a picture. She got really grouchy after a couple hours of blueberry picking/sight seeing and would lay on the rocks and cry. :(

TO RECAP, 1 HOUR OF LOOKING FOR THESE...

AND THESE EQUALS...

6.17 POUNDS OF BLUEBERRIES!!!
