With the first day of September tomorrow, that means fall is officially upon us....well at least in my opinion! That means that I completed decorating for fall and Halloween today and we are ready for all the fun activities that the fall has in store for us. Pumpkin patch after pumpkin patch, hay rack rides, trick or treating, apple orchards, and of course our Disney trip in three short weeks! :)
Before I get to how we have been getting ready for fall, I thought I would post our new kitchen/dining room floor. It was installed Wednesday and we love it! Even though every single time Simba walks in here he leaves a very obvious trail of orange cat fur all over, we are very happy with how it turned out! Kevin, has been spending lots of his spare time painting the kitchen cupboards white. This takes a long, long, long time. With the deglosser, three coats of paint, and top coat (and waiting a day in between every coat to let it dry)! It will take a while to get there, but we have one top section almost done, so that is great!
Now on to fall. It's no secret that I love decorating for holidays, and Halloween is no exception. Here are a few pictures of my favorite things that are up around our house now!
This Mickey pumpkin tree will be our centerpiece on the table, which we don't have now. Our old one is in the garage from when we got the floor in, and we have a new one coming, but not for another 3 weeks! It is much more practical for us then a counter height table and has much more seating. Anyways...I love this Halloween tree, it was purchased last September in Disney World!
A few more random pumpkins and fall leaves.
I got tired of our metal pumpkin wreath that hung on our front door year after year, so put this up instead. :) Isabelle wanted the pumpkin wreath in her bathroom, so that is its new home for the season :)
And of course, my favorite, another Mickey pumpkin!
Even the bathroom got a little Halloween makeover!
In other news...Isabelle looked so into watching Finding Nemo today that I had to take a picture. (Yes for those that knew me as a child, that is my koala I have had since a baby that she now has!)
Every season, we also make something for Isabelle to put on her wall. We have done Valentines, Easter Eggs, and flowers for summer. Today we worked on pumpkins! She was so excited and worked very hard coloring, doing stickers, and gluing!
She put them up all by herself!
And while I am on the topic of decorating, we made a slight change in Isabelle's room today, which seemed to make her whole day! I have mentioned before how she is so into reading, so we made her a little reading corner in her room. Between the end of her bed and the window use to be a pile of stuffed animals and toys that were rarely played with. Those are all now in the basement, along with a million other toys, and we moved her bookshelf here with her beanbag. She spent a LONG time here today and was calling it her "reading corner" :) It is a much better use of the space and I am so glad she loves it!
This blog turned out much longer then I had planned.....with that, I am off to bed. Yes, the exhaustion is still in full force! :) Happy Fall!
