Oreo Pumpkins - Yummy goodness for FALL!

Aren't these the cutest??  I came across them a couple days ago and had to make them.  The ones I made where eaten instantly... and I never even got a picture!  So I am borrowing Alison's picture from the original post on Oopsey Daisy. 
Go here to see the original post for easy directions.  Go on, I'll wait...

Ok, now for a couple little notes from me.1) Double Stuff Oreos would probably be best for this, because I had a hard time fitting the pretzel between the two cookies without pushing the cookies to far apart. 
2) Put the pretzels in before the candy coating hardens, otherwise, again, there are problems with the cookie falling apart. 
3) I used white chocolate bark mixed with a little red and yellow food colorings rather than the cand melts.. just because I had those on hand already... looked the same. :)

Good Morning Fall! Oh how I've missed you...

I'm forgoing Wordless Wednesday this week, because something worth talking about is happening today!  It's the first day of FALL!  I don't normally get this excited about the first day of a new season... that may be a lie... I do get excited easily... but I digress...

I love Fall.  It is my favorite season by far.  I love the colors, the changing weather, pumpkin patches, pumpkin carving, and pumpkin flavored goodies.  My adoration has rubbed off on my little girl as well, she shares my love of all things Fall.... not to mention... Fall brings about our favorite holiday, Halloween!! 

So as a way of welcoming in our new season, I'm going to say goodbye to the Summer by sharing some of my favorite photos from the last few months...

Goodbye Summer!  See you next year!

The perfect day for a stroll...

I was quite overwhelmed last Sunday.  Finals were due for my psych class on Monday, ALLLL of the clothing and baby items I hoped to drop of this week for the children's consignment sale still needed to be ironed, hung, labled, and entered on the computer (I didn't get that done, by the way), both kids + my teenage brother were running around the house like crazy people, the house needed cleaned, the clothes needed washed, you see where I'm going here...

As I stood looking out the front windows I noticed the trees swaying in the wind, and the leaves drifting to the ground... and I realized what a beautiful day we were missing out on.  It was 11:30, and we were all still in pajamas, what was I thinking?  So we quickly changed clothes and the four of us, Gator, Boo, the little bro, and I, headed out the door for a stroll.  We are so blessed to have property that backs up to this....

And that looks out onto a beautiful field where we wondered around and took these....

And when we finally made it back home we were loving being outside so much that we played in the yard for a while....

And all I can say is we really needed that!  We're beginning to just barely get a taste of the Fall weather here in Florida.  It's still hot, but it's not HOT, and the breeze is always a welcome change.  By the afternoon I just couldn't help myself, and I dug a couple containers out and started to put out the fall decor. 

My favorite season is right around the corner!
