Touches of Fall

I’ve been trying to spruce our house up with a few pieces of fall decor this past week. This morning I added this to the door that hangs above the couch in our Great Room.

Small bits here and there.
And NO the belly is not that big yet. I pulled out this frame and the picture was already there. I love this photo of Monkey listening to his brother Bogie.IMG_5823
The boys and I made these pumpkins following Alisa’s tutorial. (The Sweet Life)

This was a great activity, I layered everything up and then had them follow whatever I did. Even Bogie pretty much got it right without much help from me. I highly recommend making these. My boys especially loved shoving the branches from Grandma Judy’s house into the center.

And as I was walking around fidgeting with photos around the house, I kept hearing “Dink!…Dink!…Dink!”
Only to come back and find this!
Supposedly its a new target for them and they love the sound. I only got Bogie in the shot, but you can see the tip of Monkey’s gun in the upper right corner.

And this, my friends, is Decorating 101 Dunbar Man style.

Ali said...

I love it. I dragged all my fall stuff out last week hoping it would cool off if I started decorating....didn't work out!
Your craft looks so cute. I'll have to give that a try next year when K can do it!!

They are serving the Lord with Nerf dart guns! It is what boys do. A different definition that the serving it was intended to mean. However, those pumpkins look strangely familiar like the ones at MY house!!!! Missy and I put them up this week too, but unlike you I made them prekiddo days. Maybe I need to revisit that craft with my crafty ones. It made me think, you were thinking of me! ;)
