Autumn has Arrived

It is officially here in New Mexico. Yesterday it poured and rained and thundered all day long and it was lovely. I was giddy with Autumn feelings. On Monday and wanted Autumn so badly that I wanted to decorate. We were in Guam last fall so we had no more autumn decorations. We cleansed them away two years ago. I decided to check savers and a dollar tree. It was my lucky day.

I have been trying to figure out what Alexander will be for Halloween so that I can prepare if I need to sew. Well they had the answers at the dollar store. They had all kinds of costume parts there. I guess I go to late because I have never seen costume parts at the dollar store before but look what I found for $1 each:



Yep a matching knight outfit. So I got them. He has already gotten his $3 out of them but he really loves them. The helmet fits his head perfectly too so it was GREAT.


I am so excited now. I was going to make Eva a sheep this year but then I found this lion costume in the closet. I rememberd I got it from Juliane with a bunch of girls clothes. Then I tried it on Eva (I thought it wouldn't fit this year) but it was perfect and she kept bringing it to me to put on her.


I will show more complete costumes when Halloween comes. I am so excited to have 2 little trick or treaters!

Oh and I found a few decorations. Just a little clear pumpkin jar and a little round glass thing that I put Halloween candy in.









As you can see by the half empty jar Daniel and the lil ones love candy corn.


Then I got some skulls.

Don't you just love Autumn and the Holidays?

Who would have guessed that I had a daughter that decorates for every holiday. Sounds great Miriam. I would not mind if someone else decorated my house for holidays.
