I really love fall with it’s crisp weather, lingering pumpkin spice scent, and rich traditions. This year Texas weather has been insanely warm hot so it’s been a little harder for me to get in the fall spirit. Seriously, my kids were wearing shorts last week and the air conditioner has been running. Nonetheless, I filled our home with warm fall décor in hopes fall would one day appear. We aren’t hosting Thanksgiving this year, but I decided to set our new dining table anyways. It was begging for a little splash of fall. Since having the table fully decorated, I realized it stays looking pretty and never collects random items like usual. From here on out, I think I’ll have to keep seasonal tablescapes out.
On the table, I pulled together an assortment of glass hurricanes and filled them with items I had including cranberries, wine corks, and coffee beans (the aroma is fabulous). Deco mesh and heirloom monogrammed chargers completed my table scape. To fully enjoy our fall table, we may have a family dinner there this week. I’m certain the kids would enjoy a “fancy” meal. 
I kept the entry way simple with a collection of antique books, a fresh pumpkin, a framed fall printable (a gift from my friend, Amber), and a pumpkin spice candle. Did I mention I adore pumpkin spice?!?! Even with summer like heat, the scent feels like fall.
This was the first year the kids each chose their own Halloween costume and weren’t part of a theme. Long before Halloween arrived, they determined exactly what they would wear and proudly stood out as individuals- Rainbow Dash, a pirate, Rapunzel, and Spider-Man. George and I pulled together coordinated costumes, however. Complete with bowl cut wig and fitted red pants, George dressed as Howard Wolowitz while I was his wife, Bernadette from the Big Bang Theory.
Though the kids celebrated their fourth birthday this summer, we still hadn’t taken four year photos. We decided it was better late than never so we staged a fall DIY photo shoot. One of the kiddos (I won’t name names…) may not have cooperated with my Pinterest-y clothing scheme, but we managed to get some great shots and had fun taking them.
The individual photos capture each child’s personality perfectly…
Happy fall, ya’ll!
hugs,
Amber
