Bake some cotton balls, call it art.

I will admit I find the idea of "Fall" decorations in a tropical climate a bit silly.  In fact, the first time I plugged in my Scentsy warmer with a Salted Caramel wax bar in it, the whole house felt off to me.  Fall colored leaves and pumpkins have no place in 80 degree weather if you ask me.  So, in the spirit of embracing Hawaiian life, I was going to just bypass the whole traditional Fall routine we usually engage in.  Until that is, practically every single house in the neighborhood put up Fall/Halloween decorations last weekend and the boys started asking about our Fall stuff.  I relented and decided that maybe a little Autumn lovin' would be okay... 

but just a little.

So we made Baked Pumpkin Pie Scented Cotton Ball Pumpkin Art. 

(Say that three times fast!)
