Happy Fall Y'all!

WOW~ October 1st already, can you believe it?! We just got out of the 90 degree temps here in the Carolinas, so even though Fall is officially here, today is the first day (65 degrees right now!) that it FEELS like it.

We took the kids to The Annual Spot Festival in Hampstead last weekend. What a blast they had~ face painting, inflatable rides, mining for gold, bungee jumping (kid version) and pony rides. And of course,to cap it all off, my favorite part~ the fireworks!



When we got home I decided it was time to decorate~ Again, It's hard to feel festive about Fall when the temps are high and your flowers are still in full bloom, but darn it~ I'm trying!

I even made my own wreath for the front door Photobucket
(inspired by Debbiedoos ~ please check out her blog if you get a chance, you'll walk away inspired!)

And the rest of the house goes something like this:

I didn't do very much inside as I don't have a lot to work with, but what I do have, I think is darn cute:

Love the decorating - very "fall like". Kinda got me in the mood now for fall - not the cleaning, just the decorating ;0)
