Back-to-School TWITTER PARTY!!!

WELCOME FALL!!!!

Can you believe it's the first day of fall?  I'm not seeing these lovely leaves yet, but here in PA it's only a matter of time.  

I LOVE the first day of fall.  I get out ALL my decorations and go crazy all over the house before the kids get home from school.

Speaking of school.....
