Autumn around the house

Autumn has to be my favorite time of year. What better way to celebrate the season then to surround yourself with its bounty and little reminders. For whatever reason, my kids ADORE those mini pumpkins, so we usually have several hanging out throughout the house.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Autumn season!

  2. Yes, it looks great. I love mini pumpkins and gourds (is that how you spell it), but we have had some major problems with fruit flies this fall (the weird weather, maybe??) so I didn't get them this year. It's sad.

  3. Love the leaf banner! We have pumpkins and gourds everywhere too, mixed in with the toys, all over the floor, you name it. I love the fall!
