Time Flies!

Well, we have been trucking along here and somehow November is coming to a close! We have been keeping busy with life! With school, homework, volunteering, doctors appointments, callings, and basketball starting up we are jumping into the holidays!
After school homework. Levi does his math, spelling, and reading. Zack has been working on his Upstart program on the computer and his reading lessons with mom.
 I chopped 10 inches off my hair. I have been growing the color out for awhile and decided it was time to chop most of it out. I am almost back to my natural color after 15 years!
 It is that time of the year for some new beanies, so I have gotten around to trying one of the patterns! I wish I had the arm and time to make more. I have the shoulder of an 85 year old lady nowadays!
 Visiting the fish at Walmart. She did not like it when we left!

 A week or so ago we had our first snow that stuck a little. Makayla cried and cried when I took her snow clothes off. She LOVED it!




 Bad weather beginning has led to several around the house projects. We have been chopping the outdoors, taking down the tramp, trying to put up heat tape on the roof, Christmas lights, changing clothes over in the closets, and just plain trying to organize a little better!
 I have also picked up the knitting needles this last week. I am VERY SLOWLY trying to remember what the heck I am doing! But, I think I am getting the very basics at least!
 This little girl graduated from the binky a few days before she turned 19 months. She didn't use it most of the day, just at bedtime. The first sleep was a little rough, but it got less and less for the next 2-3 days. She has been without for a week and I have never been tempted to give it back. She has done SO well. I decided we needed to break the habit before she starts stealing it from her brother here in a few months!
 This is the face of the girl without her binky and consequently and extremely short nap one day!
 Much to Dan's dismay I started hanging up some of our outdoor Christmas decor! I love our new Santa addition, but he has been forced inside until Thanksgiving is over. We call Dan Mr. Scrooge over here!
We are off to an adventurous week of Thanksgiving and lots of family time!
