Wahoo! The weather is changing!

I am so excited for Fall! And the upcoming holidays. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas! Tenley's going to be a little white chicken for Halloween. She looks hilariously cute in her costume! And when I tried it on her, she LOVED it and just kept running around smiling, and doing goofy hand gestures. She is a funny girl! Can't wait for Thanksgiving.. several of my siblings are coming up to Idaho to spend it with us, and I am so excited! Hope, hope, hoping Chad 'n Ashley are able to come, that would make it even betta! And Christmas.. the music, the baking (lots of new recipes I'm excited to bake & share), the lights & trees! Ahhh, I can't wait! The weather is changing. I don't know why, but more than ever I am enjoying breathing in the new crisp Fall air. Idaho is so pretty in the fall! The leaves really do change to multiple colors, and it is beautiful! I can't wait to dig out my boots, and recreate fun cold weather outfits. :)

We never really got to all of our summer house/yard projects, but now that the weather is changing, we are loving it & feeling so motivated! Scott cleaned our carpet, organized the garage, and is planning to power-wash our fence this weekend. I...(*ahem* wasted time but enjoyed reading New Moon this week), and have since started on a few projects (deep cleaning & reorganizing closets mostly). I am going to share my project list, for my reference only! It's a good motivator for me to work on & finish things.

-Paint over living room walls
-Hall bathroom (eventually tear out vinyl, lay tile, re-do floor boards)
-Tackle the spare bedroom. AHH!
-Go through my clothes and shoes again
-Go through Scott's clothes!
-DI run or yard sale
-Box up T's clothes that don't fit
-The list will grow...

No pictures this post. I'm just not feelin' it. :)

The Life of a One Year Old:

Eat Fig Newton..
Watch cartoons..
Eat a popsicle..
Climb on the couch & play..
(frequently involves unfolding mom's laundry.)
Eat steak fries..
Play with toys..
(Sometimes even reach for the deepest one, & get stuck. Cry & scream 'til mom or dad hears & rescues you.)
And sleep when you think no one is watching..
