Fall is on it's Way!

Yesterday it finally began to feel like fall here. There were even some crunchy leaves on the ground. It seemed like it was hot, hot summer and then suddenly-aaaaaaaaahhhh!

Here are some pictures of the first day of school. I have two full-time students now. Miriam is really liking being a "Big Kid" and eating in the cafeteria. On the two days a week I'm in school they also eat breakfast there. She says she's still getting used to it. (Love that Girl) And my big 5th grader, Kean, likes his new teacher. Unfortunately, he has about an hour of homework a night now. We'll have to adjust to that.


















Also, over Labor Day weekend, Miriam and I went to the cabin with my fabulous friend, Nicole and her daughter Jamie. There were lots of giggles and the girls got along famously. Nic and I got a bit of scrappin' done and it was quite the relaxing weekend for both of us.
































I also wanted to share this tutorial on making some darling little pumpkins or apples out of old books. Garage sales, here I come!

And big HUGE congratulations to my friend, Sharmaine for placing SECOND in Scrap-n-Crop's Project Scrap-Away contest. Way to go!!! I am so very proud of you!
