Bluebell Corn Maze

We decided to go to the Corn Maze on Saturday and have fun with the kids... but Willy didn't want to go, so I took the kids and Grandma Bird was a good sport and went with us. The weather was wonderful. There is so much to do there. They have the pumpkin canons, the cow train, the maze, the boo barn, a small hay maze for the kids to play in and so much more. The kids wanted to stay all day and night, but it got chilly as the sun went down. The maze was lots more interesting this year with clues for which way you should go depending on the answer. We had fun.

its {fiRewOod} season

We have spent the last month of weekends getting our years supply of firewood for the winter. It is hard work... but very worth it. We save a lot of money, plus it we have family time, plus it teaches our children to work. They were huge helpers... we didn't have anyone else with us this year so it all came down to us... and it was fun {despite all the complaining, from an unnamed person}. I love my family and all the times we get to spend together... whether it is working or playing.

no-sew {pumpkins}

I am loving fall! I made a few more pumpkins that we learned how to make at Swap last month... they are soooooo easy and so much fun. Our kids are getting excited for Halloween and that makes me excited to decorate.

Plate & Pumpkins

I had a bright idea the other day
(it doesn't happen very often...ha,ha,ha)

I bought this candle stand and wood plate
from DI along time ago.

They have just been sitting around my house
collecting dust,
so I decided I could put them together
and make a cake plate.

It was a fun project and didn't take very long.

I glued the stand to the bottom of the plate.

painted it black,

stained it with wood stain,

and then spray painted a clear coat over the top.

It turned out really good,
and was one of my easier projects.

I also re-did my 3 pumpkins.
(I didn't take a picture
but they were all the same color
and kind of plain)

I unleashed the Dremel tool on them,

painted them black,

then I painted them 3 different colors,

sanded, stained, and put a clear coat over the top.

I had the raffia on them before,
so I just added some wire vines on top.

It was a wonderful FALL project.
And didn't cost me a thing!
