An All Hallows Eve Daybook Post

Happy Hallow's Eve!

Outside My Window – It's a bit gloomy and cloudy today.  Along with a chill in the air.  Setting the stage for an evening of spooky excitement to see what arrives at our doorstep with each trick-or-treater.

In the Learning Room – Today we are doing an abbreviated school day in anticipation of a busy afternoon of activity.  We will be doing the 3R's and saving the good stuff for the rest of the week.  :)  We are getting into a nice grove.  There is still a large amount of organization that needs to happen in the learning room.  Unfortunately we don't have enough table space or desk to get the job done.  Furniture hunting we will go.

In the Kitchen – We are cooking up a big pot of chilli and corn bread and have invited the neighbors over to warm up with a bowl during the hours of little goblin haunting in the neighborhood.  Because we live in a culdesac, we are hoping to get some neighborly conversation going.  We would love to get to know the people growing families around us.

Plans for the week– Today we will head out to a Trunk-or-Treat with our homeschool group.  We will then rush home to get the full decoration's out and dinner plans complete.  We do plan to walk the neighborhood with great hopes of finding sugar bliss!  I will try REALLY hard to stay OUT of the girls candy bags.  Lord, give me strength! Tomorrow is morning Mass and a celebration of All Saints Day.

Praying for - Those mommie's growing babies in their tums,  Patty over at ReasonsForChocolate  and Sarah over at AmongstLovelyThings.  
 
Thinking of – my husband and four daughters.  Of their needs and wants.  Praying that I can become the wife and mother that God intended me to be. (and like it.  Big grin:)

A Picture thought  I am sharing……..

Doesn't K-Doodle make the cutest paper doll?

Some Fall fun

Although we gave been quiet on our family blog, we have been busy around the house.  Actually, we have been busy - out of the house!  Fall is our favorite time of the year.  Fall brings cooler temperatures, opening of the windows, breathing fresh air and loads of activities.  Some of our fall fun so far has included a trip to the Atlanta Zoo, hiking at Dauset Trails and going to the Georgia National Fair. 

Hiking along with friends on a beautiful fall day.

This tree looks how I feel.  Abit out of sorts. 

 

 

Sweetness in the purest form - Daughters!

Along with all the fun, we also suffer from allergies around here.  So it is not all fun.  The girls have also shared a cold over the last few days.  I am hoping not to catch that part of the fall fanfare.  When the girls recover, we have a few more activities planned for the month.  Including a visit to the local pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins to decorate, a field trip to Rock Ranch where we can visit their amazing corn maze, a couple of Trunk and Treats with our homeschool group and our parish.  And off course, meeting our trick-or-treaters at the door.  We have never lived at a location to actually have some!  Both girls are looking forward to passing out candy to our new neighbors.

I have lots of lovely pictures from our trip to the zoo and other fall fun.  But I have no idea where I put the flash drive thingy!  Hope to post more soon.

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!!!!
