Fall 2018 School Pictures

I forgot to post the boy's school pictures!  I do like to see how they change from year to year.

November 2018

November started busy with deciding to list the house across the street on Airbnb.  That meant furnishing, stocking the kitchen etc.  We put string lights on the patio.
 



Brian participated in a math competition.





Pip spends lots of time staring at the bunnies.  They seem to like her company which is interesting.

We finally found good small grass hay bales for a decent price and we used Mark's hay elevator, which he fixed up, to get 150 bales up in the hay loft.

It took him three days to get all the loads home from Ogden and up in the barn.  We are stocked until next summer!



We moved Harry to the mudroom.

The boys had their Fall cello recital.  Brian played Allegro Moderato and Timmy played La Cinquantaine. Both songs at the end of book 3.  They did an excellent job!



Timmy kept flying through the Harry Potter series, finishing book 5.  Mark taught Brian how to sew.

It just makes me happy to see my boys walking together into the hardware store. 

Sometimes the kids will watch basketball or football with Mark and he makes them run on the treadmill or do push ups during commercials.  Sometimes they want to keep running even when the commercials are over.

Brian is making his way through the Lord of the Rings series.  I can't believe he is actually reading them at the age of 10.  I never could at any age.

We hosted Mark's family and lots of friends for Thanksgiving.  The boys insisted on making labels for the dessert table.



We thoroughly cleaned the house and even the fish tank was sparkling!

Then family and friends arrived with loads of food!

Mark made two turkeys.



It snowed the next day!



We took down the thankful tree and got out the the Christmas tree!


And enjoyed some snuggle time watching a movie.

Then it was back to school after a lovely Thanksgiving break!  Brian loves making slides for his Chinese class.

On to December!
