November

OK trucking through ... I am so behind on updating this blog! November ... November ... November was tiring because Jas traveled 3 out of 4 weeks/weekends. But we managed just fine. We all like it better when he's around.

ALL HANDS ON DECK!

Toddlers are so much work. But they are unpredictably predictable. Hungry, tired, in need of a snuggle. It is mostly manageable. Kindergarteners are just exhausted and conflicted about whether they want to be a big kid or a baby. Also mostly manageable. But nine year olds? I’m at a loss. Does not compute and I can’t win. What are the teenage years going to be like? #everyoneiscrying

All of the Barbies are dressed. I feel so accomplished.

Everyone was THRILLED to get out and vote ...

Afternoon entertainment: seasonal sprinkler service.

Portrait mode is fun

Sometimes Q sleeps late or isn't in the mood to come out to the bus. Sister kisses are still important.

NEW CLEAN BIG FRIDGE!

Successful rainy soccer season

Dee Dee brought Auntie Lauren's old American Girl doll and all her clothes. Hours of entertainment and mess-making.

One of Talie's leaves on her thankful wreath says "Bees" HA!

More sister kisses!

Turkey trot song with Miss Vivana

On your mark!

"There's SNOW out there!"

Fun at the ICA

Stop, drop, and play!

Jas was away a lot this month. We are all VERY happy to have him home.

Someone has discovered Mommy's makeup ... Stay tuned for a hilarious lipstick adventure

LET IT GOOOOOO!

Smitty/Charlotte came with us to help us be brave for flu shots.

This is what the playroom usually looks like. Sigh.
