Red Barn

We finally had a night together to go do a fun Fall activity. We went with Tony Emily Daniel and Kailee to the Red Barn. We took the tractor over to the pumpkin patch. Cute Lucy and Annabelle had their arms around each other and were just talking to each other. They're such good friends! Right as we got off, the girls ran right for the slides. With No hesitation they went right down them. The dads and the boys went up to the big slide. We sent Lincoln down the small slide a couple of times. He loved it! We did some apple shooting, cart racing and ran up the hay tower. We all had a blast! After we got ice cream at the barn. It was good to catch up with all of them!

Lucy's Preschool Field Trip @ Jaker's

 Lucy loves going to preschool. She has been learning a lot and making new friends. Her first field trip was to Jakers pumpkin patch. She got to ride the bus and everything. Lincoln and i met them there. She had a blast with her 2 high school students. They went on a hay ride with her, took her to see the petting zoo and helped her pick out a pumpkin. She had a blast!

Farm country

I love Saturdays. We always get to do fun activities as a family. It's nice to hang out all together because it doesn't happen very much during the week. Today we decided to go to Farm Country! It was completely empty because everyone was watching conference 😬. We decided to watch that session later. The kids got to go on a couple of pony rides. We also saw the other animals and went on a trailer ride. The kids had a lot of fun! 

Wood Connection: Fall Centerpiece Decor

Hey! It Jamie from Savvy Sisters. I can't believe summer is over and Autumn is here! It is so crazy how cold it is getting now too. I'm so excited for the leaves to change, for football, and for fun Fall activities to come! But I'm also excited to start decorating for Fall time! I made this Autumn Centerpiece for my table. It was easy and took about 2 hours or less for me to make!

Materials:

- Framed plank sign

- journaling square block + finial

- small flat wooden leaves and acorns

- wooden acorns

- paint (fall colors)

- ribbon

- paper

- 2 berry sprigs 

- brushes

- stain (provincial)

- sandpaper

- wood glue

- candles or pumpkins and ghourds. 

First I sanded and stained the plank board. I used the provincial color that Wood Co sells. I wiped off the stain and then set aside to dry.

Next, I painted the leaves different Fall colors. I used forest green, goldenrod and medocino red. Once they dried, I sanded the edges and stained each one. For the flat acorns, I painted them different fall colors, let them dry and then cut out and glued cute paper on them. Then I tied ribbon around them! For the other acorns, I dipped them in the can of stain and then wiped them off. Those were easy!

After those were done, I painted my block forest green. Then I sanded the edges and stained it. I picked out some cute paper and glued that on. I picked one for each side! Then I stained the finial and tied a ribbon around it!

After everything was done drying, I put it all in the plank sign! Then added some candles and put it on this cute coffee table! I'll probably put some pumpkins and gourds in there when the grocery stores get them in.

Happy Fall Y'all!

Onion Days

The Onion Days Parade was actually very enjoyable this year because the weather was perfect! It felt good to be in the sun because it was slightly cold. Lincoln loved finding, mooching and eating all the candy from the kids. He didn't love the loud sound from the fire trucks though. Lucy was being a little timid this year and just standing and watching the floats instead of getting candy. I guess that's ok. She still had fun!
Afterwards, we went to Dave and Kathy's for lunch. A couple of Dan's cousins came over too and it was so nice to catch up to them! It was fun and relaxing to hang out and chat.
