Fall Decor

If you're looking for a fun and easy project...isn't that how all pinterest crafts start out??? Yes!! We'll this one really did work. No paint, hard work, or writing is involved. 

Isn't it lovely? All you have to do is tape a peice of white tissue paper onto a peice of regular paper and print onto it. You could do whatever you want! Our house isn't a big fan of carving pumpkins, especially since it makes a HUGE mess and the pumpkins deteriorate so fast post carving. Anyway, after printing, cut out your shape. Take a little bit of Elmer's glue and mix it with some water, then paint a small part of the pumpkin. Place your paper on it and then brush your glue mixture over the top. Let it dry and viola! You have a beautiful pumpkin. I'm not sure how these will stand up against rain and weather, but ours are on the porch where it's protected. 

Aubrey made the thankful one and cole made the M. It's a great project! Enjoy your fall and be thankful!

Rainbow

On Sunday our family helped host the Church Fall Picnic. It was a lot of fun! We were all singing and it started to sprinkle. Then this beautiful rainbow appeared. My iPhone can't capture the true beauty, but it was gorgeous! At one time it was even a triple rainbow. Gods glory magnified by his wondrous works!!!!! 

Gone to the Zooooooo!

Well, we went! The Omaha zoo which is about 2 hrs. away. It’s a great zoo and we love it!

Here is the penguins! We made it in time to watch them be fed.

Here we all are! We took our little friend Abram with us. He was so cute! We thought he could have fit right in with the monkeys.

Mom got on a pretty tiger but realized when the carousel started moving that her tiger didn’t move up and down. she was pretty disappointed;)

 

This tiger is named Mai, she has three legs. When she was a cub in the wild, she got it caught in some wire and they had to amputate it.
