Fall in TN

Just Beautiful! We are loving the amazing colors all around us:)!

day one down.....

day one went well!!! We woke up around 7 and had breakfast, watched a cartoon, made up beds and cleaned up the house. The rule is that you have to be dressed and ready to work at 9....
... so this morning ... Hudson came down in khakis and and long sleeve polo shirt!!!!
Mason came down in full bumblebee costume and Aubree came down in her dress up surgical scrubs and hair net!!! It was so their personalities:)

It was so cute!!!
Everyone stayed on task and were focused all morning. Not even one complainant. I am so thankful.

It's a Homeschool Life

Ok so here we go! On Thursday Oct 6 the frames will officially be a homeschooling family! This was something I wanted to try this year anyways but we moved into a neighborhood that had a AWESOME public school. So we tried it. Well is not AWESOME to me. The kids teachers were for sure awesome and I like them a lot. However, I can not stand the school policies, other children's behavior and worldly knowledge, the Principal, or the fact that I am not welcomed in the school they way I am wanting to be. ( ie the "hug line" and not being able to have lunch withe kids until the end of oct...ect..)
Cathedral was the most AWESOME amazing school experience ever for our family. To me this school is a dark shadow of what I expect a school to be for my kids. I feel that I should not have to lower my standards just because it is the school we are zoned for. I am not a public school hater. I know that there are some out of this world programs available in the public school as well as very skilled and intelligent teachers. But what I am wanting for my children is a God honoring education. "As for me and my household, we shall serve the Lord!" My children are spending 8 hours a day 5 days a week having to hide the fact that they LOVE Jesus and being exposed to the hateful things that the enemy has placed in this world and having to slow down their learning until the others catch up. I know that I can not shelter them from the world forever but I will for as long as I can. I want to teach with to navigate through life and do it with courage and passion for being a light in God's Kingdom!
SO pray for us in this new adventure. It's going to a fun and wild ride!!!

We went to baby shower with about 20 little 3 and 4 year old girls!!! It was so much fun. They all ran around with pink roses playing fairy princesses..... well except my daughter want to be the "bad dragon." She ran around chasing the other girls and breathed fire on them. How can she be such a diva girlie girl and at the same time not!!! Oh this girl is one of a kind:)!

It's Fall in the Frame house!

Fall is my most favorite time of the year! Everyday there is something you can do that is fun with the family. I love every smell that has to do with fall. Pumpkin is my favorite EVERYTHING! I put it in LOTS of recipes, the sweets and not sweets. I wash my body and scrub my skin. I wash my hair in pumpkin scented shampoo and conditioner. I have pumpkin lip gloss and lipstick!! I will wear anything the color burnt orange, plum and brown.
I, and now Aubree, go CRAZY at Bath and Body with their Fall scented anything. My car even smells like pumpkin something. And the BEST part about Fall is STARBUCKS PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES! I had my first one the day after Hudson was born and I can still remember everything about that day when we brought him home from the hospital!!

I love all the decorations and all the crafts you can make for the fall. There is something so magical about driving on a cool windy day and it looks its "raining" leaves from the trees!!! The kids and I always make a fall wreath together. We collect leaves and and acorns and make leaf rubbings "stained glass" hangings! There are endless "Thankful" crafts to share with the kids and so many opportunity's to teach them to think about others. There can be LOTS of baking fun with them as well. There is always a pumpkin patch to visit and lots of harvest carnivals at all the churches!! You can pick apples and enjoy warm apple cider on a cool night. Then there is always the candy corn and Hersey's Kisses pumpkin spice and candy corn flavors that will make you SMILE!!! Oh Yes and one more thing... football filled weekends cuddled up together on the couch with YUMMY chili and taco soup! Happy Fall Y'all!!!!
