November

9am games are tough -- they started this one with only 5 players -- the other team had that many subs on the sidelines!

Saturdays are busy and sometimes cause identity-crises

Annual Friendsgiving

Holy crap that's a LOT of kids.

Roller skating with the Girl Scouts was hilariously and unexpectedly fun -- and as a bonus, I didn't break an ankle.

Speed racer!

Civic duty achievement level unlocked. We are excited to see what our new mayor has planned for our new city!

T's buddy Harper is our carpool, ballet, and leaf pile friend!

Quinn was NOT a fan of the cold leaves.

Mr Chico loves these little girls -- he beeps like crazy and they wave like lunatics.

Ladies? Need I remind you there are approximately eight trillion TOYS to play with in this house?

So far I've not have tons of success with the InstantPot ...

Blackberry zombie baby!!!

Date night with my adventurous eater -- she ate almost all of that food! She has a hollow leg!

I love Talie's style. Layers seem to be her priority over comfort, matching, and utility.

We are taking Nutcracker rehearsals VERY seriously.

So much laundry. So much cleaning.

It was COLD but Elliott and her classmates earned $13K for her school at the fun run!

Waiting for the bus with Daddy

I was looking back at photos on my phone and found about 22 of this artistic photo courtesy of Talie ... and about 65 photos of me ... in the shower. ACK!  DELETE ALL!

Giant hugs before another trip to Spain.

There were another 20+ photos of Talie's buddy Cassidy -- little sisters causing harmless trouble in the ballet waiting room.

This is what Quinn does while she waits for people to answer FaceTime calls. She cracks herself (and me) up.

There has been an extension cord tied up in a tree in the side yard for like 3 years -- we finally got it down, with some help from our adventurers. 

We miss our traveling man.

Teething is no fun.
