Fall is Here!

School is back in session, drive carefully and watch for kids walking or waiting for the bus!! Here are a couple pics of Julie and her little sister waiting for Julie's bus on the first day of school.




I can't believe we are into September now...the smell of Fall is in the air, and so is the cooler weather.....AND SCHOOL!!...thank goodness!! I have been waiting for school to start again this year! Since we moved again, Julie had to start a new school again. I've been praying that this year will go better than last year! Sooo far it seems to be working out for the better. We just registered for Girl Scouts, so that'll help us get involved and meet some new people. Also, I have been scouring Pinterest for Autumn decor ideas, organization, cleaning, Christmas stuff, homework help.....and well, just about everything else too!! What did we ever do before Pinterest?! LOL!! I need to find something for my front porch...it's very small, but there is room for some Fall Pretties!! I am also working on my organizational skills and cleaning skills in my home....I think I'm getting there, at least I hope that I am! I also have been thinking alot about trying a "command center" on the kitchen wall.....idk yet, we'll see how that goes, lol.......I've also been researching freezer meals and such for crockpots(not sure hubby is on board with this one, but maybe we'll try out a couple of the recipes and see how he likes them.) I've also been searching for Christmas ideas already...I know I know....already??!! YES, ALREADY!!! It comes up quickly ya know! I want to go all out decorating this year, but, on a budget....so, if I start now, maybe it'll work out that way! Thanks for stopping by today and I will try to be a better blogger! Peace and God bless!

September already?! Where did the summer go? Oh wait, I know.......it went by way toooo fast! We were in the process of purchasing a new house over the summer and moving to there from our rental trailer......wow, now THAT was not fun, lol!! All the paperwork and packing and cleaning......I am sooooooo happy all THAT is over with now! We can finally relax in our new home and get settled in and make it ours.....here is a pic of our new place!



AND we got all moved BEFORE our oldest daughter started school........YAY US!!!! Here is a pic of my two girls waiting for the bus together.....aren't they cute?! My oldest started school this year on Aug. 27...a week earlier than she started in NY!



Each girl got her own room too.......boy, Mom and Dad are LOVIN' that!! Our oldest is lovin' it too! Our youngest, well.......she still has to get used to the idea that she can't just walk in to her sister's room anymore when she wants to, like she used to do when they shared a room.....just doesn't work that way anymore, lol! Our youngest is also potty training......yes, she's a late bloomer in that area...she is 4 now and just learning.

I now have my own scrapbooking area in our sunroom....I'm soooo excited! I haven't really scrapped in at least a couple of months..not sure I remember what to do, lol!! I will try to get some pictures up later of that.

Well, September is here now and that means Autumn is just about here too. That is my favorite season.....stay tuned for some Seasonal decorating I HOPE!! Have a great day and I'll see ya soon!
