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.

Redemption Day

Disclaimer: For those of you who don't care a bit about football this is not the post for you.


Those who know me or read my blog enough know that I have two teams. UGA and BAMA. I know, I know.. they are rivals. However they don't play each other often so its ok. And when they do.. I have to stay true to Georgia.
Tonight is the night. The big rematch game. Last time the score was 9-6 LSU in OT. One field goal is what separated the #1 and #2 teams in the country. Some people say that Alabama doesn't deserve to play LSU again. To those people I say.. Look at the stats. Alabama only lost to the #1 team in the country by a field goal. If there was a playoff system in college football then maybe they wouldn't be here. However there isn't. Get over it.

Take a look at this..

So I leave you with this.. ROLL TIDE!

Thanks Dayna!
