November 30: not ready to wake up

We put the couch cushions on the floor
to jump on but while we were eating lunch,
Rusty made himself a new home.  

November 29: rolly slide

His favorite at the park today.
Must have gone down at least 10 times
in a row.

November 28: role reversal

Nora hammers away while Myles puts his
creation in the oven.

November 27: snoozing

I went to peek at Myles before bed tonight
and he looked so comfy I just had to
snap a picture.  He was even snoring a bit.
Rest up, Dude.  We've got a lot of playing
to do tomorrow.

November 26: mail call

After watching an episode of Bubble Guppies
about mailing a letter,  we decided to do a
follow up activity and send Mallory
a letter just like they did in the show.

November 24: almost done

Just need to buy more lights for the bushes on the right.

November 23: adult time

Obviously I didn't take this picture but I did take
others today so I make an exception.
We were able to meet up with Alex and Allison
over Thanksgiving.  Always nice to see them.  

November 22: warming bodies and souls

Dan enjoying the fire with two kids
who wanted to be stripped down
(and better moods resulted)

November 21: cards

To save myself time and stress, I decided
to order my cards instead of hand making
them this year.  They've already arrived!
I'm already waaaay ahead of last year
and it feels good.

November 20: Mal Pal

We had Mal over for the first time in a while.
And what else do little girls do but play peek-a-boo
while laying in Myles' crib?!

November 19: budding

It's been so warm outside that our lilac
bush is confused and beginning to bud.

November 18: tiny donor

Our church is raising money to fix the
school's leaky ceiling.  Nora brought
and envelope home.  We talked about it
and she chose to donate some of her
Halloween money.  She was very proud!
So were we.

November 17: last home game

The final home game of the season ended with a
disappointing overtime loss to Ohio State.
Story of the season.

November 16: break

We were having a photo shoot for
our Christmas card this year when
it was time for an exploring break.
Enough posing.

November 15: helping hand

She started getting herself ready and
then tried to help Myles too. What a sweetie.

November 14: vanity

After a failed attempt at stripping and staining our bathroom
vanity, we painted it.  I couldn't be happier.  Looks brand new.

November 13: a dusting

We got the smallest amount of snow last
night but it was enough to make this guy
curious (and his sister quite excited)

November 12: waiting

These kids love their daddy.
Waiting patiently for Daddy to pull into
the driveway.

November 11: almost...

I almost got all the leaves mowed up
before the rain started. 

November 10: lights

Starting to put the lights on the bushes
for the upcoming Christmas season.

November 9: out with the old

Goodbye super crappy windows with
grid lines.  I won't miss you at all.
And we'll all be much warmer upstairs.

November 8: tower

With a cookie thief!

November 6: election day

I hope you all did too.

November 5: time out

Again.  He's been getting a lot of these
lately.  Mainly for banging on the fire place
with a sprinkling of a few other things as well.

November 4: that's how she rolls

Cutie.

November 3: loader

"A loader, Mommy!"

November 2: one-on-one

I don't get too much one-on-one time
with this little munchkin anymore so when
I do, I cherish it. This particular day
I was struck by how grown up she seemed.

November 1: BAM!

Just pounded out all these shirts and
pants in one night.  BAM!
Take that ironing!
