Happy Halloween!

Really? Is it really the last day of October? What! It is. And it's Halloween. Wow. Time has been going by fast. I mean, really fast! So fast I don't even remember what I did yesterday. (Actually, I went to church yesterday and carved my pumpkin, but other than that...) I don't know about you, but I'm not a HUGE fan of Halloween. I like Halloween, but it's all about scary stuff. I don't really like being scared (sometimes). :) Call me a wimp if you like. Whenever I think of Halloween, I think of the time I was trick-or-treating with one of my best buddies (we were nerds. it was awesome.) and we went up to a porch of a house that had this big (what I thought was a "dummy") scary guy sitting in a chair. Of course, I thought it was just a decoration. My friend, she's got more brains than I do. :) Anyway, I go up to the porch. The dummy turns out to be a real person. He "roars" at me. I'm freaked out. I run down the street. And my friend is cracking up. The End. :) haha So now I'm eating some Smarties so I know what to stay away from this year. :) Any fun moments that you think of at Halloween?

apples

When I think of fall, I don't only think of leaves, but also of apples. The apple trees in our front yard are blooming with apples and then there is always a warm cup of apple cider somewhere... Yet while crunching into an apple you hear your mom's voice in the back of your head,

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away."

I bet you've heard that before.

Oooooohhhh yeah.

BIG time.

kind of.

:)

One of my friends has this quote in mind and is wondering, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? She would like to know what you think why an apple a day keeps the doctor away. I'm pretty sure an apple a day keeps you smarter...or healthier...I'm not sure. So head over here, comment what you think this quote means on her post, and go eat an apple for me! :)

do I smell fall coming on?

Yesterday, it was steaming hot here in California and today-- well, it rained-- it actually thundered and poured. Talk about crazy weather! But I don't mind summer walking out the door that suddenly because

I LOVE FALL.

I love it,

I love it,

I love it!

I love fall because of the smell that's in the air, the festive feel that fills your home, the icy chilliness that makes you want to snuggle in a heap of blankets, and when you walk around, the sound of crunching leaves underneath your shoes. Oh, I love fall!!!

I couldn't help but look around on etsy for some fall inspiration. :)

Oh, and who doesn't love the look of acorns? They are so cute and... awesome! I'll have to make some sort of craft that has to do with acrons because these fellas are classic! :)

I love fall. Is there anything more to say about it? Thank you, God, for fall- thanks a ton really! Thanks for colorful leaves, trees, the wind, and rain. Thank you for a warm home and a chilly outside... Thank you God for fall! You really know how to make me happy! :)
