Fall Fever

Sorry for the oh woe is me post the other day. I'm normally more positive but I have to admit its been a rough last ten months.

I'm home sick today. I got a cold last Friday and have been feeling gross ever since.

This time of year every year I start craving fall. Really it starts in mid August. This year I think it started in July!!! It has been abnormally hot here in Shreveport/East Texas this year. On fact I think it's been over 100 degrees for 60 days at this point. Next Thursday is the first day of fall.
I'm estatic to day the least!!!

So with further ado I would like to list some things that make me feel like it's really fall.
I found some very cute brown camel colored boots that ate too cute!!! I was looking for rainboots. It hasn't rained here in Shreveport since I moved here!!!! But I guess I was hoping to find some and maybe that would bring rain? See the pics below!

I have already decorated our house for fall. I'm no Martha but this is my favorite time of year. I have Aldo gone to bath&body works and bought four hand soaps in hopes that these would bring fall weather!!!!

I made a crockpot Weight watchers recipe a few weeks ago that was awesome!! It was pumpkin and oatmeal based. It turned out pretty good. Justin turned his nose up St it. (he hates pumpkin) and at first I wasn't sure it turned out right. After the fact I think it turned out fine it just didn't look like the picture.
Here's the recipe.
6 cups water
3 cups of pumpkin raw I used the canned pumpkin probably not weight watchers savy but pumpkins weren't in season!!
1 1/2 cups oatmeal uncooked
1/2 cup honey
1tsp cinnamon
1/2 salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Put all ingredients in crockpot
Cook low for 8 hours
Serving is 1 cup
5 points
Delicious cold! Tastes like pumpkin pie!

Also I made these cute little pretzel hug things I found on this blog
So fun but I had to put them away!!
