Autumn is almost here!

It is hard to believe that Autumn is just about here, and as a reminder of its nearing presence, the cooler temps have hit this week. We have dropped from the high 80's last week (remember the beach pictures?) to the mid 60's this week! Tonight the low will be 34 degrees. I know in just a few short months I will be happy for 34 degrees as a high temp as it would be above freezing! Such is Wisconsin weather. We just may hit summer digits again a few times before Autumn is truly here.

This week has been all about preparing for fall and doing crafts, it has been great! It is also important to enjoy the warm sunny days while we can so we have also been spending a lot of time outside.

Are you ready to see the pictures from a few projects today? Here you go!

My childrens precious handprints! Emily very much enjoyed this project!

Our evening project is using our handprints to create an autumn tree on the picture window. Here you can see Emily enjoying herself.

Here are the children with their tree! We will be adding some other elements to the window at a later time, but this was a fun and great start!

Well, besides our autumn projects, Emily spent some time on the computer today, after she hurt her ankle again. Emily learned about Pinterest. It is an online site that you 'pin' pictures of things that you like and have friends 'follow' you. So, I already had a few folders set-up to categorize the pictures into and Emily quickly learned how the site works and set-up a few folders by herself. We have a folder for Homeschooling, so anything she thought would be great she would put into that folder. We also have Toddler-Daycare, Winter Wonders, Autumn Awesome, Home Organization, and Fridge Fabulous. She did great categorizing the pictures and we have some great craft and project ideas to use when the weather turns bitter cold.
