FALL ish things...

So, life has been busy lately. 

Mostly because we are STILL painting the house, 

and life and Fall are happening, 

and the grapes were ready, so I did that for about 4 days...Whew!
Took a break to go to Cornbelly's with the cousins.

And we are STILL painting!!  :)

There are a lot of pics in this post.
Here is our Fall.

Bree was such a big help to me with the grapes this year!  

Both of us picked grapes for about 4 hours together, and ended up with 4 huge boxes full.

Then the girls helped to pick the grapes off of the vines for me with the first box.

I think I worked on grapes for 4 long days.  On the last day, I made 10 batches of Jelly!  I didn't take any pictures of the finished bottles and jars, because I was taking them downstairs and putting them away as soon as I could to make space for more.  We ended up with 35 Quarts of Juice, and 76 Jars of Jelly!  Whew!

I love canning, and feeling like I'm doing something good for our family by putting a little food storage on the shelves.  Homemade goodness :)

Ruby helped us bring in some grapes as well.  She loves to spend time outside!

 

 

A couple of weekends ago, the girls had their last Soccer games of the Fall Season.
Grandma and Grandpa Belnap came to the games.
It was fun!

The girls have fun playing outside a lot.
Thanks to our neighbors for giving us this super fun Jeep that drives!
The girls love it!

Bree made this cute Art Project for Columbus Day!

I took this pic of the mountains, with fall colors from my backyard.  I zoomed in a bit, but I love how they are only about a mile up the road and we have a great view of them from our backyard!

And one brisk morning, the girls asked to play in the backyard.
They found a few Fall leaves and had a blast!
There are many more leaves now, so I guess they can help Daddy rake them soon!

Ruby has been so darn cute lately!
I am freaking out, that she is growing up so fast.
She is my last baby, and she has just turned 2!
I'm going to miss having tiny kids :)
I just love my sweet girls!

And we took a day off of painting the house, to go play at Cornbelly's with some Family!
It was a super fun day!
Some of the BEST Fall Activities we love :)

Even Elle, who is scared of Fireworks, Loved the Fireworks!

And the other day, was Crazy Hair Day at School.
