Welcome Fall!

I was excited to decorate the front door and stoop for fall. I started with a couple of mums and pumpkins, but it just wasn't enough. This past Saturday, Shawn's mom and I found a really cool wreath at Michael's. I thought that a lot of the wreaths were over-priced, so I was going to buy all the materials and make one myself. Bad idea, don't do it. Jane and I estimated the price of a homemade wreath and it would have been more than $50! I bought one for $35 and it's much prettier than one I would have made. To add to the decorations, I bought a few more pumpkins and a bale of hay. Finally, I carved a pumpkin WITH NO PATTERN may I add, and it didn't turn out half bad. Take a look.


It kinda looks tacky in the last picture because you can see the candle, but from the road, it looks pretty good. We got a lot of compliments on it tonight during trick-or-treating.
