FALL!

I have always LOVED Fall and Halloween, but this year I am feeling especially festive! Here are just a few reasons why I love fall so much!

Reason #1. Help Grandpa Day! 

Every year the cousins gather at Grandpa Wheatley's for 'Help Grandpa Day'! We pick apples off the trees, trim back dead branches and deep clean the house. I love 'help grandpa day' and unfortunately Taurean and I won't be able to make it this year. We are very sad we have to miss it. 

Look at Josh's face! He's working hard to get that last apple out of the tree

Little Savannah loved picking the apples up from off the ground. The poor thing couldn't get her gloves on the right way. haha. 

Reason #2. I LOVE HALLOWEEN! Who doesn't love a holiday where you get to wear costumes, be afraid of ghosts, carve pumpkins, get free candy, decorate with pumpkins, and  scare your friends? I LOVE Halloween!

Reason #3. The Wheatley Halloween Costume Party! Again, Taurean and I will have to miss the party, but it gets better every year! We can't wait to see the pictures. 

Bread maker!

Big news! I spent 6 hours on Thursday morning/afternoon attempting to do something I have always longed to be able to do. I tried making bread, and by golly, I sure made bread. The recipe I found made 3 loaves and used 8 cups of flour! Look at all that dough!

The last time I attempted making bread the crust started burning, while the inside remained dough. I was very worried that this would happen again and that all the ingredients would be wasted, but it worked out great. 

I am more proud that I successfully made bread than if I had survived in the wilderness for a week! 

The bread tastes great, and there are absolutely no air bubbles inside! I'm so proud of myself.
