Loving This Fall Weather!

Fall! I am beyond thrilled it is finally here! I have been searching magazines and the Internet for ideas to decorate this big ol' house.  So far I have decided on using lanterns and fake crows/black birds for the front porch. Luckily, I scored the crows at our local Dollar Tree! There was no way I would have paid $7 a piece another store wanted! The amount of trick-or-treaters we usually receive you can count on one hand. That is why I typically do not go all out for Halloween/Thanksgiving instead I like to decorate for "fall" or Autumn.

 

This past weekend my son's Varsity football team won their first game. It was so much fun cheering them on in the cool air with some good friends! Monday night this week the Junior Varsity team will play again. I can not wait to see my boy in action! I hope everyone is having a great start to fall!

 

With all this wonderful cool weather. My family is thinking Chili! I wanted to share a great chili recipe that I found!
