Welcome November

I love October & all things pumpkin, but it did not slow down for us much in October. Between the work, the girls at home, extracurriculars, and Justin traveling, I just feel as if I haven't had a second to really catch my breath. Now that November is finally here, there are some good breaks in my future. Of course there are now new challenges with Thanksgiving & Christmas & Janie's birthday approaching, but at least there will be time to spend with family, & things at school are more predictable for me.

As the girls grew up, I would update with monthly posts, which turned to every three months, and now are every six months. There is a lot of random things that happen in between those six month posts! I am going to have to try and figure out a way to update everyone more often than that. I wanted to share some random, everyday things that we have been doing around here for the last couple of months...

Justin & I celebrated 12 years together (not wedding anniversary) this past September! He sent me a dozen red roses at school since he was out of town all weekend. 

We celebrated Homecoming at school with cute kindergarten mums!

Janie had a couple of sick days. She had croup once and the second time probably just a little bug since she didn't really have symptoms after 24 hours, but did spike a fever. She of course snuggled with mommy while we were home together!

The girls are both loving their school! Drop off and pick up usually goes pretty smoothly. They both have sweet friends they like to play with.

Janie is moving more than ever! She is running. She is full of personality and it's so fantastic yet so terrifying! You'll hear more about her on her TWO YEAR POST in a matter of weeks. Yikes.

The girls are inseparable at home. They play together constantly. They also argue quite a bit. Janie is always watching her big sister and at the same time knows exactly what to say to push her buttons. They have a sweet, sweet relationship, though!

Nora is proving to be a lot like her mommy! She has started to enjoy lining up her blueberries before she eats them... She likes to put the big ones in a line and then the little ones in a line.

Blue Bell is BACK! We stopped to get some ice cream on the way home when it was restocked in local grocery stores!!

Nora playing "Room on the Broom" with her babies and animals. She scoots around on her broom and says "Down!" and then looks and looks for things on the ground while saying, "She looked for the ____ but no _____ could be found." It's so cute!!

Baby Jo is still getting the royal toddler treatment. She goes everywhere with Nora. She sleeps with her own blanket in her own crib, which is one that my grandparents made for me to use with dolls when I was a little girl. Baby Jo needs a bath... really bad!

We celebrated Veteran's Day in November!



We welcomed November with our new turkey shirts. Two Haute Mums (on Facebook) custom made them for the girls and they are precious! We are wearing them weekly, at least, until December!!

 That's all for now... A couple more days and it will be Thanksgiving, so more updates to come with family fun!
