November Recap

Looking over my pictures from November I realized I 1) Took almost no pictures and 2) Our month looked pretty boring in the pictures I did take. However, I know we were busy, and we were sick, so there you go. Even on the trips we did take (Ohio for a weekend and then Thanksgiving) I took one picture. COMBINED. What?!? I must have been having an out-of-body experience for the whole month. Don’t know what I was doing, but being a shutterbug I was not. Oh well. 

Anyway, here’s a recap of our November, based upon my pictures since I have no memory of the things we actually did.  :)

Matea found Eli’s old sunglasses and wore them around the house for almost an entire day. I had forgotten that, but hey, I have a picture of it!

Hollywood here I come! 

Matea was sick after our visit to Ohio (I’m not sure what it was but she had a high temp and was clearly miserable but only for about 4 days and then was fine). She wanted to lay around all day . . . and really liked to lay on a pillow with Eli. Or just on Eli if he’d let her, which he did. He was super sweet to Matea while she wasn’t feeling well. Awwww.

We built forts . . . which we do a lot (I love making forts!). But for some reason I decided to take pictures only once, and then of the smallest fort we built. Go figure.

Matea enjoyed wrecking the forts, much to Eli’s consternation (and yes, this was taken the last day Matea was sick . . . obviously she’s starting to feel better).

Matea started wearing her hair down more, instead of in her trademark “whale spout.” Momentous people, momentous. I took a picture so obviously I cared about it. :)

For Thanksgiving we made a really fun craft with the kids . . . making turkeys out of Styrofoam cups. The kids LOVED painting the cups and then the feathers and then gluing it all together. Best craft ever . . . seriously.  I loved that they could do most of the steps themselves and I could make some turkeys too.

Eli’s turkeys! He had help with the “M”s and the football wings, but the rest he did himself.

We also made turkey cupcakes. A whole flock. :)

And this is my only picture from Thanksgiving . . . seriously, I don’t know where I was or what I was doing. I must have been off being thankful . . . yeah, that sounds good.

Mommy must have been super-thankful for me, because I’m the only thing she took a picture of!

There you have it folks . . . our exciting November. I didn’t even take pictures of my house decorated for fall (which I’ll regret next year when I try to remember where I put things). Hopefully December will get more screen time than November! :)
