Ohhh So Pretty

Another new ornament!

This one I had to kind of get out of my box to make.

It isn't my normal colors.

Selling the "fun" wool felt colors really made me want to do something a bit different!

I have to say, I love it!

Super cute snowman faces and with a spritz of silver glitter,

it just has a vintage flair to it!

Take a peek


This would be a DARLING baby's first Christmas ornament too!!

Saturday

It was one of those days where, family just had to come first.....


Emily was home from college, Taylor was on a mission, and

David missed it all by being at the hunting cabin.

I have always told him, too many things happen when he goes there!


Here's what went down:

Last night, Taylor got home around 11 pm, he seemed excited to see his sister?? (odd, yes)

He ran into her room and they were in DEEP discussion. David and I went to bed, they continued for a good hour.

Curiosity was killing me!

So, this morning I asked Emily--mums the word!

I got NOTHING!


Well, she kept asking me when we could go shopping....and finally spilled the story.

Taylor wanted to ask a special someone to the Christmas dance.

Emily informed him he had to do it in a UNIQUE way!

They came up with all kinds of crazy ideas, and they finally let me in on it all.

We had this fun idea where the gal would pull up in our driveway, and there would candles making arrows pointing to the side of garage where there would be a big box (a refrigerator box) wrapped as a gift with helium balloons as a bow at the top.

(I know, pictures would make this better)

Inside the box, is, of course, Taylor!!

He is going to even dress up, nice shirt and TIE! (his idea even)

He would pop out of the box and ask her to the dance!

With flowers of course......


Sooooooo, we ran around town trying to find this enormous box for 6'3" Taylor to fit in. We would get asked "what do you need it for", I could hardly contain myself!

We got the helium balloons, the kids were going to run back and get the flowers later.

They wrapped the box with gift wrap, had it ALL READY to go....


AND


Well, as I figured, the poor gal couldn't come over tonight!!!

She had spent the day out of town.


Taylor felt bad, but already has it planned for Friday night!

Soooo, we will get pictures then!!

Tell me how this can be fun????

Yep, it is fall, and there is only one important thing about fall:

FOOTBALL

Well, in my humble opinion, that isn't the case,

but ask my son or husband and that is what they will tell you!


Saturday was Homecoming.

It's a big community celebration with a pepfest Friday night, parade Saturday morning, game in the afternoon and a homecoming dance for the kids at night.

It was a BEAUTIFUL fall day here, sun shining about 60 degress.

Perfect for an afternoon football game
(again, not my words)

But, try as I might, there is no way of getting around going to the game.

Taylor plays linebacker.

He had a SUPER game on Saturday, so I guess I am glad I went!?


Now, tell me, how can this be so fun?


Quarterback Sack

Taylor looks like he is having CPR performed on his head!!

Two plays after this one he had an interception!!

I just can't say I see the fun in playing on this picture!

Can you????
