Welcome Fall
My oldest was home sick from school today, which means of course that he was fine by about 10am (no complaints from this momma!!). I decided to we should have some fun today. I donned my apron, made a loaf of banana bread and got everything set for what my kids like to call an “Arts and Crafts Project”.
I used my one leaf shaped cookie cutter and traced leaves on to printer paper (we’re out of colored construction paper). The kids colored the leaves in fall colors and then we added a glitter border to each one. After cutting them out we decided to hang them along the mantle in the dining room.
I uploaded a pdf file of the leaf pattern so everyone can feel autumn in their homes! Have a great weekend!

what a nice welcome you’ve given fall & I swear I can smell the bread through the screen {or maybe that’s just wishful thinking}!
I hope this means you’re feeling much better now & that you have a great weekend!

I want banana bread but that would require bananas- man I need to get to the store.
Maybe we will do that project this weekend…as it is just me and the boys.
