Mum's the word...


It's fall! I love fall--the colors and the smells and the (eventual) dropping of the temperatures.

For three weeks, these mums teased and tantalized me at the grocery store. This past Sunday, I finally broke down and splurged all of $4 on them. That $4 was well spent on something that has and will bring me great pleasure.



But now I have several pots of flowers that need planting--which will require some energy to turn up the soil and plant. I also have to find a spot safe from the dog, who has already trampled one flower bed.

Happy fall, dear friends and readers.

It's Homecoming!


Today's the day--

By the time you're reading this (as long as it's after 7:30am), Sonshine will have given his girlfriend the mum. We--well, DD mostly--worked on it Wednesday evening...

We went from this boring pre-made mum:


To this jazzed up band-themed mum:


Here are some close ups so you can see the details:




Pictures Monday of the lovely lady wearing her mum.

Have a great weekend!

Mum Shopping...


My girls and I went mum shopping for Sonshine last evening. Homecoming is in a few weeks and he's gonna be ready this year!

Wishful Wednesday and the perfect school will return next week. Maybe.

So we started with a pre-made base from the local grocery store.


Then we bought extra goodies to embellish it with....






And after four years, I deserve a band mom mum, so...



More detailed pictures once we've got them ready.

Mum's the word...


Our weekly football game was last night rather than tonight. It's going to be a long day.

On the football front, we won 54 to 47. It was a close game right up till the end. Our boys fought to hold on to the win, blocking a catch by the other team in their end zone in the last ten seconds of the game. Go, Hills!

On the band front, it was also pretty good. Sonshine had a good time.



Speaking of mums-- our Homecoming is in a month. Sonshine has never bought/made/given a mum to his girlfriend of the year. This year he doesn't have a choice. His sisters and I are going mum shopping next Tuesday and we're gonna make sure he has a nice mum to give to his sweet girlfriend. I told her last night since he'd never given one, he's been saving all his money up and that she was going to get a freakishly huge one. Her eyes got very big. We were joking and only because last week was Homecoming for the team/school we played and some of those girls ended up with mums that could have served as armor or a shield they were so large.

Stay tuned for the creation of the mum and then the giving and wearing of the mum!
