Fall crafts a la Pinterest

Fall is one of my favorite times of year, especially Thanksgiving! Harper and I have been celebrating the season by making a few crafts that I saw on Pinterest. I love making crafts with her because it is such a fun time together and then we have our fun moment together marked by the craft so it helps us to remember that time! We still have more crafts on our fall 'to do' list but here is what we have made so far!

 Our fall tree 'before'. This was made out of a paper lunch bag and was so simple! I actually love the look of it without leaves, it reminds me of the whomping willow from Harry Potter.

 Here's the after. We used orange, red, and yellow tissue paper. Harper got to rip the paper in little pieces then we both glued it on the tree. Warning: you will be covered in glue and tissue paper by the end of the project (but we didn't mind!).

 This fall wreath is made out of a paper plate and leaves collected entirely from out yard! I think Harper's favorite part was picking up the leaves and putting them in our bag to bring inside. Note of caution: check leaves for bugs before bringing them inside!

How could you resist hanging out with this cutie?

Long overdue updates!

We've been busy in a fun way lately...I realized I am way behind in just general life updates. I thought I'd just do a picture update instead! 

 Harper's Aubie themed birthday party...from 'Toomer's Lemonade'..

 to a Caramel Apple Bar (not Aubie related, just super yummy and one of HG's favorites- apples!)

                                                           ...to Aubie treats as a favor!...

 Aubie on the birthday banner and the invitations and the food table...

 to a compilation of Harper's favorite Aubie highlights video...

 All Auburn All Orange (or something like that?). Harper was Aubied-out with an Aubie headband and pin!

 Old school Aubie on the cake!

 And even an Auburn wagon as a gift! She had a blast and loved every bit of Aubie!

 We made our living room into 'Publix' and she took her purse, grocery cart, and babies shopping.

 Picked out pumpkins...

 Went for a hay ride

 Gained TWO new members of our family (my nieces, Harper's cousins)

 Tailgated, cheered on our tigers even through a terrible season, and went to Tiger Walk

And this little peacock went trick or treating!
