October is my favorite month!  Fall is the most wonderful season.  I love the temperatures, the smells, the colors... It seems October becomes a time to slow down and enjoy a little extra family time.  The days are shorter and we get to enjoy God's rich harvest.  And it's my birthday month to boot! 

From raking leaves, to baking pumpkin spice muffins or chewy molasses cookies, making pumpkins sparkle, bobbing for apples, leaf rubbing, apple cider, corn mazes, and hikes.  There are so many ways to celebrate!  And simple traditions become all the more precious for the loving memories we get to cherish for many years.

Happy October to you!  Hope you fill it with wonderful memories and precious moments! 

"You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands." Isaiah 55:12

I even added some sparkle to the baby pumpkins.

I found this idea in a magazine years ago.  If I could remember the magazine, I'd give them credit.  This has become a tradition for our family.  

Glitter glue doesn't work as well.  Orange, silver and white glitter are pretty, too!  They give the pumpkins a frosty look.
