I wanna wear woolly tights too...

Oh how fall has come entirely too soon. Summer just started and we're definitely back in the full swing of fall. It's chilly here... Amelia is wearing woolly tights, we're in sweatshirts and jeans. This is not my kind of weather... I always think fall is my favorite but summer is definitely what I love the most. I love those hot days where you have to worry about sun screen and trying to keep cool. I would way rather try to keep cool that try to keep warm.. mostly because I never get warm. The trees are all starting to turn, they look so beautiful. I'm anxious to get some great pictures to maybe fill Christmas cards with... I always say that and it never happens.

Landen and I pulled all our fall/Halloween decorations out from the basement today. He's been having fun running around the house screaming at the pumpkins. We put up orange lights and a few little sticky things.. we don't have much but it's still fun to have a little change. I bought some mums for outside, as my other flowers are slowly dying off. I love color and need it as long as possible. This last week we made a butterfly garden.. well the start of one. We made a corner fence in our front yard and I planted two butterfly bushes and will be adding more plants that attract butterflies next year. I can't wait!!! It's going to be gorgeous and anything to attract more butterflies and hummingbirds the better. =)

We finally made it to Children's Adoration again this month. Over the summer we missed a lot because we either had plans or I forgot. Oops! It was really nice even though Amelia insists on climbing the stairs to get to the alter. She's quite the frisky little thing and was making everyone laugh. Unfortunately it seems that our Children's Adoration group is getting smaller. Things that I love never seem to attract other people, sadly. On that same note - I was actually able to sit through the entire mass last week thanks to my wonderful husband who took Amelia out. Oh my goodness it was great. Father spoke right to my heart about Stewardship and I went into today to get the sheets that I had thrown out before. Right now I'm going to sign up to make a dish when there is a funeral and help with the pro-life committee. I'm not sure how much I can do with the pro-life but I felt like I wanted to do that two years in a row so I'm going to take the plunge and do it. I know the lady in charge pretty well and she knows how I am with my kids so the things I can't make I'm sure she'll understand. Plus I have some good idea's I need to get out there!!! And as for giving more money - I think we need to be more giving in that way so I'm going to start trying.

Since this is more or less a post of my thoughts - I've decided to stop concentrating so much with La Leche League. I'm the only one doing the work for the enrichment meetings so I'm going to collect all my information and hand it over to the leaders at the next meeting. I said I wasn't going to be a leader so I need to quit acting like one or something. I will be glad to help but I'm not going to take it on myself anymore. I really hope that we're able to do some of the things we've thought of because they'd be so great!

Just a reminder... I have a Mei Tai giveaway this week on my review blog. Enter if you haven't already. This week has been slow over there - I didn't schedule some things in for review and then some didn't fall through, but I've got new things going up at least three times a week until mid November so check back often. I'm excited because A LOT of places have been e-mailing me for reviews now; it took awhile but it's taking off. I also submitted my info to the girls at Simple to start working with them. If I get picked; which who knows as I bet a lot of people submit I'm going to quit Props N' Pans. I like doing reviews for them but I won't be able to hand three and I'd much rather review for Simple. =)

Have a great weekend!
