Fall is in the air...

Today is nice and chilly and I love it. It makes me want to snuggle up with a blanket and drink a cup of hot cider from Starbucks. I was so excited when I found this recipe from Roots and Wings Co. It sounds so yummy!

Ghostly Trick or Treat Bag

Here is a cute idea from Mama Thompson. I just think it's adorable! If you are not a sewer, you can just by a cheapo bag from Michaels and put your kids cute little feet on that. I was actually thinking about just putting their feet on black paper and framing it. I can stick it on my entryway table for all to see! If I ever get around to making this I will post a picture of it!

Spider Web Balloons

File Folder Games

I just found a great website where you can get free File Folder Games. I don't know about you but it is so hard to get my kids to sit still anywhere we go. These are awesome things to throw together and carry around with you whenever you need them so they will sit still for a while. I use these at church and they just love them! Here are a couple of websites to check out:

The awesomest thing about these is that they come in color so you don't have to color them yourself! That makes it totally worth it for me. :)
