Fall Decorating with the Kids

The kids & I enjoyed a nice walk through the local nature trails this week & loved looking for Fall leaves to help decorate our dining room table for Thanksgiving. 

After collecting leaves of every shape & color on our walk, the kids washed and dried their favorites for us to glue onto the glass vases I found for our centerpiece.  All you need is a little spray adhesive to place the leaves where you desire!  We decided to put our leaves around the base of our vases and trim the edges. 

Place your favorite fresh cut flowers or candles in your vase to finish off the look!  I thought the bright yellow & orange were perfect!

Happy late Thanksgiving all!

This week was tough for our family & especially Nicole! Our precious 4 legged friend Scooby passed away at only 5 years (can you believe this?) from Lymphoma. This came as quite a shock to all of us, as just two weeks ago he accompanied us on a weekend get away and held his own with 2 dogs twice his size!

Near the end we knew Scooby's options were slim. Letting him go was one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do! I was extremely proud of My Girl's strength through the whole process. She was insistent that she go with Scooby to the 24 Hour Emergency Clinic & stayed by his side until the vet took him away.

The following day My Girl asked if we should call and tell her "1st Dad" that Scooby was in Heaven. I had anticipated this request, but it still caught me off guard. Scooby had been a gift from us both, so there was a memory attached. I was not surprised by her thoughtfulness and the urge to share her loss. I was sad that there was no one on the other end for her to share it with.
