Hello Fall Traditions

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. THe air, college football (GO DAWGS & ROLL TIDE), county fAirs. I love the first week of October, when the leaves are just starting to change. Then the third weekend in October when my little hometown of Dahlonega, Georgia turns into a massive fall festival called Gold Rush that is straight out of a movie scene. One of my favorite traditions of the fall (besides football) is carving PumPkins.



Jamesleigh helping her MommY take the guts out of her pumpkin.

She loved pulling out the seeds.. she kept saying "Ew!".

THe boys get wAy too into pumpkin carving. Parker puLLed Out a drill gun this year.

Patrick is all smiles.

I decided to steal Parker's drill gun because I Was being lazy. :)

Our Pumpkins complEted and all lit up on the porch.

TADAAAA!!!




 
 It's bEen years siNce I have been Trick or Treating But this year Jamesleigh (One of my sweet nieces) was oLd enough tO actually say trick or treat so I went alonG for the fun. Our town square puts on a Great HallowEen for families. They stop all tRaffic and everyone walkS in a line around the square to all of the shops. Its so cute and perfectly small town.
Two of my favorite girls.. Jamesleigh and Chelsea.

I hope everyone else is enjoying this beautiful fall like I am.

Pumpkin Carving

Wednesday night we had our friends over to carve pumpkins. We tried to do this last week. We made dinner, bought pumpkins, got together and most of  the men didn't show up because they were chasing a dying deer through the woods. Parker shot a doe and was bound and determined to find her. So we had to reschedule for Wednesday! This time we ordered pizza! We spread sheets down on the floor and went to town!

}Side Note{
I love my friends. I know everyone says they have the best but I seriously do. We are such a family. I know that there is nothing I could not tell them, nothing they would not do for me and nothing I would not do for them. In the past we have been called a cult (by people who are jealous of our closeness). If a cult is a group of people who aren't blood related but love each other, have amazing relationships and would do anything for each other then I guess we are.

Let me just say.. Thank God for Netflix. We were able to watch Halloween Resurrection and the original Scream.

Everyone looking at the "Busted" paper.


The boys playing around before we started. They never grow up.


Patrick and his GIANT carving knife.


This was Emily's first time carving a pumpkin!
