Can you even believe October is here? Well at least being north it feels like Fall and the leaves have started to change. I love Fall and have missed it the last few years we have been in Florida. Since we will only be North the rest of the year I had to change out all the clothes this past week while were home. Another thing we decided to do this week was a craft. I found it in the Family Fun magazine. We went out and found some leaves one morning, traced them with Elmer's glue gel in the afternoon then had to let them dry for a day. The next day we took acrylic paints and water and painted the banner (pillowcase). After it set for 2 more hours we washed them. It was much prettier before we washed them. the paint didn't hold as well as we hoped and still plan to redo Caleb's. I think we may have watered the paints down too much. It was neat how the glue left a pretty white void for the outline of the leaf and its veins. It was a nice fall project I would do again! I also got my fall decorations out this week. We left again Friday to head to WI and MN.
