Fall is in the air!!

I love fall.  I love everything about it (except that here in the South it doesn't last long enough).  I wouldn't say we've had anything like cool weather yet, but the mornings have been brisk, and that's enough to get me excited.  We've been online checking out halloween costumes, trying to decide if we know enough kids to have a halloween party this year, planning trips to apple orchards, burning our pumpkin pie spice candle, and Googling pumpkin muffin recipes for Saturday mornings.  I fully realize that we probably have a good month of swimming weather left, but for now, I'm dreaming of fall. 

One thing I love is that fall crafts are so fun and easy.  It doesn't take any more than a walk outside to pick up enough leaves and branches to make something pretty with your kids.  Today, however, we went to the craft store and came home with stuff to make our first fall craft of the year... a halloween tree!

The kids had soo much fun making this one.  All I did was spread the "spider web" left over from last year's halloween party, and I helped a little with the glue.  Okay, I helped a lot with the glue, but the kids did all the rest.  I have plans of sprucing up the display, but for now my fall decorations all seem to be hiding in one of our million Christmas totes in the garage. 

Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend full of fun & family.  I know I plan to!!

I love Fall, too. I love the cooler weather and the excitement of the upcoming holidays!

Great Halloween tree!

Very cute idea. Unfortunately, at our house, all the cobwebs would be REAL.
