fun-filled friday......halloween is underway!

one of our MANY holiday traditions is

decorating cookies.....

and although asher may occasionally eat a

sugar cookie,

he won't touch one with frosting on it.....

but we do it anyway....

cause he LIVES TO SPRINKLE THEM!!!!

we always have such a great time too!

and the end result is always SCRUMPTOUS!

he'll even jump right in to make some

at a school party....still NOT eating it, of course!

and he's finally embracing the art of crafting!

and at this time of year,

who could resist cutting a few holes in an

old sheet,

just to scare everyone in the house, LOL!

wordless wednesday......just another ordinary, gorgeous, fun fall day and one really happy kid!

wordless wednesday....."TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!"

ok, so this isn't going to be totally wordless,

since these adorable pumpkins

warrant an explanation....

this has been one of our many

HALLOWEEN TRADITIONS

since asher was born...

every year i paint him a pumpkin

to match his costume...

the big one is mine,

and the little one is a quickie

attempt to copy it by asher and his na-na.

sunday citar....'never turn your back'....

a famous quote from an adorable movie,

"kindergarten cop"

goes something like this.....

"kindergarten is like the ocean,

you NEVER want to turn your back on it"....

OR YOUR KIDS FOR THAT MATTER!!!!!

"You would attain to the divine perfection,
and yet not turn your back upon the world."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

FUN -FILLED FRIDAYS!

we have MANY, MANY holiday traditions in our home...

whenever they make a 'build-a-cookie house' for

a holiday....

WE'RE ALL OVER IT!!!

this is one of asher's very FAVORITE things to do ...

but somehow i ususally end up wearing
more frosting than he does....

and he's always SOOOO proud
of his work when he's done!

wordless wednesday....."a day at the orchard"

sunday citar.....artistry!

“Every artist dips his brush in his own soul,

and paints his own nature into his pictures.”

Henry Ward Beecher

"It is nature who makes our artists for us,

though it may be Art who taught them

their right mode of expression."

Oscar Wilde

if you don't have your own.....steal one!

ok, so we're still in the process of

getting settled into our new pc and

unfortunately i haven't been able to find

my kodak easyshare cd to upload the program...

therefore i can't download my new pics....

but when i can, at least i'll have a bunch to choose from

LOLOLOL!

so in lieu of my own and in TOTAL CELEBRATION

of my favorite time of the year hands down.....

(my birthday is the day before halloween,

so i've ALWAYS been completely into fall!!!)

who doesn't love PUMPKIN ANYTHING,

spiced apple cidar, hayrides, jumping in piles of leaves....

and of course, dressing up in your favorite character

and eating TONS AND TONS of candy!!!

i'm finding some great fall/halloween pics to share for now....

enjoy the gorgeous colors!
