Five on Friday #3

{{ONE}}
Ready or not school begins MONDAY!!!!!  I still have a few little details to prepare for before Monday....special breakfast, first day treats, "school" photos---pretty much a FUN first day!

And now for the make-over reveal of this boring rooster.....
BEFORE


And AFTER!!!  Rise and Shine sleepy head!  He makes me smile.  I've had this rooster for over 15 years and he has never made me laugh and smile the way he does now.  A little Sunshine Yellow paint can do wonders for my spirits.  I think he needs a name.  Have any suggestions??

Speaking of color......and I mean FALL colors.  Despite the warm temps still lingering on you know from recent posts I am in the Fall mode.  What about you?  Did you put your Fall decorations out yet?  Have you inadvertently picked up Fall colors when clothes shopping....you know deep rich orange, browns, jewel tones?  Have you gathered all your pumpkin recipes (yes, I have!!!)?

And one more about color-and this could be FALL colors too!  Many of you know I am on a quest to embrace my ever growing grey hair.  In that quest old color and highlights were growing out.  Not a very pretty growing out color. So yesterday I decided to tone down the nasty, brassy color and add lowlights.  The lowlights are as close to my natural color as she could get.  It is a much darker color than I have had in years!  But it toned down everything growing out and it comes close to matching my natural dark eyebrows.  It is a nice change going into fall. 
A word to anyone with virgin hair-embrace your natural color!!!!

 
{{FIVE}}
And I saved the best for last!!!  This weekend marks a VERY special time!  My sisters and I, along with our families, are celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary!!!!  
50 years is a long time!!  So needless to say we are having a town party!  It's a small town so we figured we could invite everyone..........hehehehe.......if they only knew what we had planned. 

Happy Weekend All!!!

Oh you know I'm looking forward to your pumpkin recipes! That yellow rooster is just plain fun! As for the hair...I tried to embrace my grey, but I just couldn't do it! I'm not there yet!!!
