Lazy Sunday

So 2 post's in 1 day! Pretty impressive for me at least! Frankly I was tired of seeing everyone else with their cute little fall decor and idea's so I soaked up everyone else's idea's and did some fall shopping yesterday. First of all I have to say I love Fall! The colors are so amazing. It was actually fall when Toby and I decided to consider the move to where we live now. So after blogging this morning I went outside and began my work.................................

When I was at Wal-mart yesterday I ran into Rachel and she suggested instead of purchasing 4 corn stalks for $10 I should just ask those I knew who grew corn. Great IDEA!! So that's just what I did and I scored corn stalks, corn, and carrots. We have such good friends! Thanks Tasha and Andy I owe you one big bowl of ooey gooey carmel corn!!

I also purchased a couple pumpkins and some barrels, regularly 39.99 for a whopping $15 each. They gave me a sale price of $18 and I guess I looked like I was going to walk away so they dropped it even lower to $15. I left with 3. Gotta love it!

Then I pulled all the dead flowers out of my window boxes and the kids and I created this. I don't think the pictures do it justice but both windows turned out pretty darn cute, with mums, pumpkins, and free cornstalks.

After all the yard work was complete I came inside and baked some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I got the recipe from my friend Daphne in nursing school and crave them about this time every year!

After dinner I found the kids and Tob playing a game of football out in the yard and Lex was just cracking me up. Here is my daughter barefoot, in a skirt, with a cowboys helmet on, bound and determined to tackle her father. Anyway, it's been a good productive day. I still have to get ready for my hike tomorrow. I think I will make some pasta salad, and muffins, maybe a yummy sandwich, I don't know. Hope everyone else enjoyed their Sunday. It was good to have some family time this weekend!

Yeah!!! You found some corn stalks! Your decor looks so cute. Your window looks like a picture that I posted on my blog. Love fall decor and love lex playing football in her skirt. Oh and I do like her hair as well. Way cute.
