So little time, So much happening

The end of the summer is upon us, a nice little Indian Summer has decided to show up just as we were thinking Summer wasn't going to heat us up. Surprise, what ever you may think about Oregon, it will change before your eyes or over night. Of course we had decided not to purchase any fans, thinking we were so smart and just saved about $100, the hot weather came and,well, we needed those fans. Pregnant ladies do not fare well in the heat and then I have to clean and keep up with these kids? No way. Thank goodness my mom found a new one at Goodwill for a very good price and that saved me a bit, plus the kids liked talking into it because it made their voices sound silly.

Halfway through I am, through this pregnancy, which has been very smooth and I couldn't ask for more. I guess I should show that pics I got last week of the Baby Sparrow. Though we are keeping the gender a surprise, Daddy thinks he may have seen something, Abuelita thinks she saw something in one of the pics and several people are thinking I am having a boy because I am carrying so low. Can't that be because my muscles never were toned after Chickadee?

It looks as though we may have a thumb sucker this time. Chickadee never took to her thumb or a binkie, I guess for the best, we didn't have to break any of those habits.

Speaking of Chickadee she is so very excited for the baby and for Fall to get here so we can decorate for Halloween. This year we are having a mostly Homemade Halloween, which is fun but more work for Mommy.

We, or shall I say I am, making these...

And tin luminaries with pumpkins, owls, ghosts, bats and other spooky things. All I need now is a can of black spray paint.

We have also cut out spooky ghosts and their friends and attached them to the mirrors that we have. It's a nice, affordable little touch of Halloween.

I would like to make some bat garland as well but I would have to get to the store to pick up more black paper....

And then I am going to make some of these to hang from a branch we found and placed outside our door, right now it has leaves hanging from it.....

Oh those spooky kittys and pumpkins. I would like to get a package of that spiderweb stuff and put it on the branch and inside on picture frames as well.

If I can find some cheap but decent looking  simple candles this would be fun to do....

So many fun thinks to find and to make and so little time.

I am still reading and reviewing books over at DoubleshotReviews.com, though I have really slowed down, I would like to pick up my pace a bit. There are so many books of my own personal taste I would like to fit in as well.

Ah well.
