It's Fall Y'all!

  This week, I savored the beginning of my favorite time of year ~ Fall!  Everyone that knows me, knows I go bonkers with decorating for the holidays and cherish all the festivities of each.  I think I can contribute my fondness of decorating to my late grandmother.  Her entire basement was nothing but boxes of carefully labeled decor for each season, and the corner was all her bomb shelter supplies.  Poor grandma, she lived through a rough era, but it never broke her spirit!

  

  I started this week with the annual decorating every room in my house with fall decor, yes - even bathrooms.  Halloween is not added till October here, so it's all autumn theme, (which is an easy transition from autumn, Halloween, then Thanksgiving). 

  Then I took my boys on a field trip to Farmland Adventures :) Here's a picture of the birthday boy having sensory overload playing in the corn pit!  

  This weekend, my son requested we lite up the fire pit for his birthday. It was a perfect chilly night for our weinie roast, smores and bottles of cream soda!  :)

  

To help cut costs on filling our insanely priced propane tank, I purchased this awesome electric fireplace that puts out heats for 1,000 sq. feet!  (That's not a real tea kettle on top, but a ceramic tea light wax melter a.k.a tart burner.  The back side has an opening for the tea light to be placed in.  It just looked so adorable in my rustic themed bedroom - and I am a tea lover!).  I chose this heater because of the room size output - I definitely wanted something more than the typical 400 or less sq.ft....and for the aesthetics.  Think warm thoughts :) We're going to be toasty this fall and winter!

  And finally, I stocked up on my soy wax for making candles with my boys.  I still have plenty of leftover supplies from last year minus the wax.  I'm so glad my boys love our candle making time as much as I do!

What do you do to celebrate and/or get ready for fall y'll?
