It's Autumn Time, It's Autumn Time...

Pics of the two things I'm crazy about right now. My kids and the BEAUTIFUL fall colors in our yard. Yep, that's our yard, LOVE IT!

Gracie's Room

The room has been done for awhile, but it took time to get all of the details in place. Her crib is the crib that Diana slept in as a baby. I did the moldings, bead board, crown and window casing. Diana made the pictures, the bird mobile and curtains. When she showed me the fabric for the curtains I told her it would be ugly. Well, I was wrong. The pictures really don't do the curtains justice. Diana also found a dresser and the toy chest on KSL and repainted them. We're missing a picture of the rocking chair in the corner, but you get the idea.

[Diana Edit: The pictures make it look like her room is lime green and orange. It's really a beautiful celery green and melon pink :)]

Canning

Our apple trees were absolutely overflowing and even our childfruitavores couldn't make a dent. So, we decided to can. We picked, peeled, cored, cut, boiled, mashed, spiced and canned about 90lbs of apples last Saturday. The end result was about 12 quarts of pie filling, 12 quarts of applesauce and 12 half-pints of apple butter. It was a lot of work, but actually fun in a weird way. And, the house smelled all apple spicy delicious for about a week.

Piggy Tails

Daddy says my pigtails give me attitude. Mommy says my pigtails are cute and my attitude is from Dad!

Love,

Grace

p.s Sorry Mommy got carried away with the pig tail pictures :)
