Happy Fall!! How is it even possible that September is going by so quickly and it's now officially fall? A few weeks ago, we had really fallish weather -- very cool all day long and almost freezing temps at night. Now that it is officially fall, the forecast for this week is for temps 80+!! But, the change in the amount of daylight and how quickly it gets dark tells me that cooler weather is just around the corner.
Yesterday was a glorious, sunny day and we went to a Fall Festival put on a small church nearby. It was so much fun! Even better, Miss Maddy won two beanie baby bears -- that put her in a very good mood! I was off looking at the silent auction items for a bit while Maddy and Rick went to the cake walk. Funniest scene ever -- Rick, with his cane, in the cake walk towering over the others in the walk -- about 8 five and six-year old kids! It was hilarious! I missed the photo, but take my word for it, it was funny!
Fall is my favorite season of all. Now that it is officially here, it's time for me to really get busy and start some fall decorating. We would love to put some pumpkins out, but the squirrels in our neighborhood consider pumpkins to be breakfast, lunch and dinner and make a huge mess, so we'll have to figure something else out. Maddy and I are going to get busy with some projects soon.

I can't believe it's fall either. Love Maddy's little sweater. Glad to hear Mr. Tennis is getting out and about.
I'll have to find out when Disney on Ice is coming our way. Sounds like a great show.
Hope you have a great week!
Fun Fun Fun!!! I love fall and loive when it gets crisp and cool outside. I love the pictures of MAddy-- she looks so darn cute in her cute little sweater!! We are still living in 80+ dregree weather and who knows when it is going to cool down here in Southern California. It does cool down here but it takes until mid October for that to happen. Anyway, love the pics!!

ps - I spray my pumpkins and gords with a little mix of water and cayenne pepper and it keeps the squirrels and rabbits away. (it won't hurt them either)
I love these photos of Maddy...the sweater is adorable...brown is one of my favorite colors...especially in the fall!!

Happy Fall to you, too! I just LOVE this time of the year. I love these pics of Maddy. She is such a gorgeous little girl.
I am glad you all had a good Fall celebration. Sounds like dad provided some laughs. Glad he is doing well.
Great pictures of Miss M. She looks fabulous in chocolate!
Sounds like the fall festival was a blast. Mr. Tennis cracks me up!
GREAT shots of your beautiful angel!! Happy Fall to you too!!! Hope you share your decorating ideas!!
Yay for fall!!! I would love to have seen Rick in the cake walk!! That is so funny!! Too bad they didn't win a cake!
Looks like Miss Boo is ready for fall in her cute little sweater. It's my favorite time of year.
Sounds like you are all off to a great start enjoying fall fun.
Maddy has a darling smile. My G wants to grow her bangs out just like your Maddy's. We'll see if we make it.
Would love to have seen your hubby walking the cake walk. I bet Maddy loved having him there.
Hugs and have fun decorating.
Fall is my favorite season, too. I love the changing colors, apple picking, fall festivals, and the crisp evenings. Of course, I don't like knowing that cold weather is coming!
I love Maddy's sweater. Where is it from? I'm in search of winter clothing for Lily!

Maddy looks so cute! Fall festivals are always so festive and just such a fun time!
Maybe you could try 'faux' pumpkins, they make them look so real nowadays and save the real ones for indoors?
Same weather we're having here but that cold IS just around the corner! Love Maddy's sweater!
Same here...beautiful fall weather last week - so I packed away all of Emma's summer clothes. Now it's in the mid-80s!
I'm with you though - fall is definitely my favorite season. It looks like Maddy likes it too!
Happy fall to you guys too! We have had the strangest September weather here too! In early Sept. we almost needed the heat and last weekend we had the AC on. Good luck with those squirrels too! We already have bites out of 2 of our pumpkins! I think I will have to try Bridget's tricks!
