Currently...AND...Fall Break!

I am beyond excited that tomorrow is the last day before break.  October is such a GREAT month anyway, and that is the icing on the cake!  My hubby's birthday is the 8th, our grangirl's birthday is the 9th, and mine is the 11th.  There are other special people that have October birthdays, as well.
I'm so ready for this break...it seems like forever since we started in July!!!  We have a royal ball to attend for a very special little soon-to-be-3 year old girl...
...our beautiful grangirl, Kennedy Grace.  Oh how I love that girl!  I am putting the finishing touches on my royal costume, and Pa is finishing up his as well.  It is sure to be a grand time with our little Princess!!!  Then, the sweet Princess will be visiting us for several days, as well...so much FUN planned for us!  And then there is more sweet fun on Halloween!  I heart October!
Ok, so it is Currently again...my how 2012 has flown by!
For the "BOOK", we are suppose to share our favorite Fall, Halloween, etc. book...I adore Stellaluna!  The story is heartwarming and the pictures are precious...take a look...
Last year, I created a Stellaluna unit.  I plan on using it again this year.  You can find it here.
I have other fall books that I love, as well...since autumn is my favorite time of year!
Like...
Hallo-Wiener
and
Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet!
So, what are your favorite fall books?  Head over to Farley's to check everyone else's out!
October Blessings,

    I'm so jealous that you get a fall break! Our school doesn't have one, but luckily I get a 3 day weekend for Columbus Day :) And chocolate, I've had my share of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups today!

    I am beyond jealous that you get a fall break!! I am not jealous the least bit that you started in July, we started at the end of August. I guess it all balances out. The Halloweenier is one of my favorite fall books, too! I incorporate it into our writing by having the kids write a story about the dog, where it is going, and what it is doing. Once they finish their story, they get to dress up their weenier dog in its Halloween costume! :)

    Fall Break...I could use one of those! Our next day off is Oct. 26, for Nevada Day.

    I Love Hallow-wiener! I also like The Little Old Lady Who Is Not Afraid of Anything. The kids have such fun acting it out. For fall and the seasons I have to say Nature's Paintbox by Patricia Thomas is my favorite!
