November Calm

A quite week at school and a low key weekend at the house: resting up for the non-stop activities during the holidays ahead!  We hope everyone is taking time to relax and enjoy time outside.  Our wish is for everyone to enjoy the holidays and to be kind and respectful to others - and to lead by example.

The sunset on Monday was gorgeous!



A ruthless game of UNO (that Amy won and then Addie smoked Adam;)


Adam made up for it by beating everyone at Candy Land :)


Friday evening Addie went to an Italian restaurant with Amy and Adam - we even had cheesecake for desert!


Meanwhile, Ayson was having a blast at a birthday party for Grady: bowling, laser tag, bumper cars!




We picked up Ayson on Saturday and he was useless ALL day as the boys stayed up until 2 am!!!!  Nevertheless, we got chores done around the house and went to bed early :)

The kiddos helping Adam paint the room next to the Boys Room on Sunday


Ayson requested "chicken wing hot sauce" for his chicken




Hahahaha...not even a year ago he would NOT have had this reaction :)


Ayson made homemade chocolate covered raisins.  Hmm, he may have been "sampling" the treat while he was making it!


We took the pumpkins off the front porch and had fun smashing them in the garden!


Milkweed seeds ready to fly!
