All Things Fall

It's hard to believe that we are wrapping up the month of October already!  The weather has been absolutely beautiful and it's been hard to stay inside on those nice days!  We've been doing some of the 'normal' fall activities: preparing for hunting, raking leaves, craft shows and making soup!

This weekend we had nothing planned.  I like that--this time of year things tend to slow down just a bit before we hit the holiday season and I try to take in all of that quiet time before things get a hoppin'.

  Saturday I got 10 miles in on the treadmill while it was still dark and most of the household was sleeping. Then we packed it up for a little adventure to Clarksville to a craft show.  And when I say adventure that's exactly what I mean...detours and all.  It took us longer than anticipated to get there and after two detours, lots of turning around, and muddy gravel roads, we made it!  The kids were real troopers and kept themselves entertained.  We walked away from the craft show with kettlecorn, warm donuts and a cupcake!  YUM! Nonetheless it was a good drive and good times to catch up with my mom and sis.

Randy and Nolan have been busy checking the deer cam and scouting for deer at dusk.  I love watching Nolan get so excited for hunting and spending time with his dad!!




Derek woke up rather early this morning as he has not been feeling well.  That gave me some time to get started on Christmas shopping!  We also tackled some house projects as well as taking care of some of the leaves that have been falling and prepping the yard for the upcoming winter. Eryn and Derek got busy making some molasses cookies this morning while I peeled and cut up apples to put in the dehydrator. After lunch it was time to head outdoors for some fresh air and sunshine! Our trees are about 1/2 done loosing their leaves but with SO many of them and a beautiful day today we decided to rake 'em up!


After a supper of homemade beef veggie soup, we are snuggling in to watch the World Series.  Nolan is hoping for a W for the Giants while I am rooting for the Royals.  Have a fantastic week!
