Game Night

The other night Scott and I decided to play a few rounds of Yahtzee and had so much fun!

I had forgotten how much I enjoy game night and will be sure to incorporate this into our time we have together when Scott & I aren't working. It turned out I was awesome in round 1 but Scott killed it after the second go around. All I can say is one of us is super competitive and the other is not- I'll let you figure out which is which. In the future we would love to a few people over for a night of fun too, I'll just have to make sure Scott tucks away his desire to win :)

What are some of your favorite ways to spend quality time with your family? Any games that are good for two?

Count Down to Fall

I am so ready for fall! Now that Halloween has passed and Thanksgiving is just around the corner I better get into the Holiday spirit (which shouldn't be so hard)! Actually, I've been preparing for fall for the last few weeks but now that the leaves are finally changing colors and we are in a bit of a cool down, it finally feels like fall!

We started out by getting a new friend - Stanley, our "friendcrow" as we want to be a welcoming house :) But Stanley was a little lonely so shortly after his arrival Stella became part of our family too! I also tried my hand at making a pumpkin wreath for the front door - I think it turned out ok!

Scott and I are blessed to live in maybe one of the most beautiful places to be during the changing of the leaves, unfortunately my camera and phone don't do justice to all of the colors we are surrounded with! This weeks seems to be the peak for the fall foliage, so I will try to capture some pictures this week while I am out and about. 

I've also been careful to try and decorate with things that will carry us into Thanksgiving since I really only like Halloween for an excuse to dress up and eat candy!

Now I just need to make some hot apple cider, plan our fall menu and remember everything I am thankful for!
