October/November 2020

Let't not even talk about how late this post is.  Just pretend it's not mid December. 

Poor Abigail inherited a tiny mouth from both Nathan and me.  Way back in January she got expanders on top and bottom.  We crank then once a week to help expand the pallet in her mouth.  She is making great progress.  Then in October she got 8 braces put on her top front teeth.  They make her look WAY to grown up.

                                     

We had to get creative this year for Halloween because we were very hesitant about trick-or-treating.  Of course we already had our idea for our family themed costume....we'll just save it for next year.  Nathan and I made up scavenger hunt clues that led the girls to their buckets of candy.  Then we ordered take out for dinner and ate while watching Nightmare Before Christmas. All in all a fun day!  Our church also put on a fair in their parking lot with games, rides, and fair food.  Everything was social distanced, hand sanitizer everywhere, and everyone wore masks.  So much fun!






We had to do Thanksgiving differently this year too.  We spent the afternoon with my parents and sister like usual.  But we spent almost the entire time outside and we wore masks except when we were eating.  Thankfully we had beautiful weather so it was really nice.  We put every household at their own separate table for dinner.  We were very thankful for time together even though it looked different.

February 2019

I PROMISE I WROTE THIS IN FEBRUARY...I JUST FORGOT TO POST IT.


Not a whole lot to write about this month.  Looking back and pictures (and my calendar) we didn't seem to do much, yet it somehow still felt busy.  I guess when you fit in all the everyday day things like school,piano practice, laundry....it is busier. 😋

The girls both enjoyed Valentine's Day.  They had fun at their class parties and made several homemade cards for family members.  These cuties liked wearing fun valentine clothes too.


One of the local churches adopted our school a few years ago.  They volunteer as mentors, help teachers, donate things, etc.  They also put on a fun family carnival. There were LOTS of people so I didn't even try to take pictures inside.  But we did stop at the fun sign out front.

We've also enjoyed several trips to the library and watching a few fun family movies.  I could never keep my girls stocked in books if it weren't for the library.  BOOKWORM PROBLEMS!!  Watching new family movies when the come out (on DVD, theaters are $$) it's been fun to introduce them to older movies as well.  They love the Muppets so they enjoyed the Muppet version of Treasure Island.
