Happy Fall!

I can't believe it's the end of October already! Time is going by so fast, I am trying to hold on to the little things with all my might.

Not sure if I mentioned here before, but my nephew from Brazil is living with us for a year to go to high school as an exchange student this year, so we have been trying to expose him to some American traditions like going to the pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins, corn maze, trunk or treating... well, you get the idea.

Talking about trunk or treat, this year was a first for us, the kids' old school didn't have that, so we jumped in and decorated our trunk with a "Where's Waldo?" theme. I painted a page of the book and my husband kindly cut out a Waldo out of plywood for the kids to be Waldo if they wanted to. It was fun!

See the scarecrow hat up there? We had a Halloween party to attend and I winged that hat so I had something to wear, I think it turned out super cute and my sweet girl was kind and agreed to wear the hat for me.

Anyhow, Autumn has been wonderful, full of plum butter scones and pumpkin muffins, beautiful fallen leaves and nice weather at least once in awhile.

Cheers!
