Wonderful October!

October is just flying by. 

I realized it has been a busy month when I was scrolling through the pictures on my phone.  I thought I'd share them with you.

We went with friends to Kenny Loggins at our Levitt Pavillion. 

It was a fantastic show! 
It was so much fun hearing songs we've loved for years. 

It was a great night with great friends. 

Our neighborhood got together for National Night Out. 
The weather was perfect!
I painted the tile in the powder room.

We headed out to the lake to help put the jets skies and the boat away for the winter. 
It's a sad day for me. I love the summer! 
Someone was super excited about the last boat ride of the season. 

 

 The weather was gorgeous. 
We had been having a crazy heat wave but it cooled down by the weekend.

I felt like I was being watched. 

It was pumpkin day at school. 

I got a pie pumpkin for the kids to see and smell and then cooked it when I got home.

I made Paula Dean's pumpkin cake. 
It is interesting to me that this cake is a golden color instead of the orange that you get from puree out of a can.

I won't be doing any Christmas decorating until after Thanksgiving, but I've picked my color scheme. 

We purged a great deal of our old Christmas stuff this summer. 

I replaced some of our old trees with a new all white tree.
I also found some white garlands. 
I shop early for Christmas decor to get the best selection.
The thrift store was getting out a few things this morning. 
I found this adorable vintage ornament in a blush color. 

Love!
I found a shabby chic tree at Hobby Lobby. 
 I've wanted a shabby chic bottle brush tree for years.
A little cottage got a makeover with pink paint and glitter. 

This little guy got a makeover too. 

   
That is about it for now.
Can you believe that it is almost Halloween? 
It's almost time to put the orange away and dig out some turkeys.
