November

It appears that I have completely fallen off the 365 band wagon.  Do I try it again next year or do I try something less intense?  I have a few days to decide! 

We had a beautiful autumn this year.  We spent plenty of time outside enjoying the sunshine and "not to cold" temperatures.  Teagan likes being outside but still won't really walk on the grass.   She is quite funny about the grass.  Every time I take her out of the van I stand her up on the driveway.  She right away goes down on her tummy and goes backwards "down" onto the grass.  I think there might be a height difference of an inch between the driveway and the grass but to her it must seem much bigger! 







Teagan is a lot of fun now that she is walking...and can get into everything.  And get into everything she most definitely does!  She also has a little temper that we every once in a while see when she can't get something or can't get into the cupboards that we childproofed. 



At the end of November I took the kids to the local Santa Claus parade.  We had to wait a long time before it started but it did not disappoint.  Next year these two crazy kids want to be in the parade too!






Chelsea thought it would be easier for Teagan to get her cheerios if she could hang her cup thingy around her neck.  How inventive!  Teagan was quite happy with her new necklace. 




On the last day of November I had a craft night with some friends.  I thought it was a lot of fun and I will post of picture of what I made after I take one.  Here are a few pictures of what some my guests made.

Here is Danielle's lovely Christmas card that she made for her family and friends this year.  She is very creative and always comes up with unique ideas for her Christmas cards every year.


Hannah made a dress-up princess skirt for Annika for Christmas.  For someone who always says she can't sew, I think she did a GREAT job on this skirt.  I LOVE the fabric (maybe she will make me a princess skirt out of what fabric she has left!)


Sue made this canvas of her cute little girl.  I like how "real" it turned out and I hope to steal her idea and make some of these for myself some day soon. 



I've also been doing a bit of knitting lately.  Pictured here is a little shrug that I made as a gift for my friends newborn daughter Lauren.  I also made one of these for Teagan...which she wears quite often since I am so proud of my handiwork! 



Lauren also got this little bib, which if I am allowed to say, I think is kind of cute. 

A few more pictures of the kids enjoying the beautiful weather outside:


It is impossible to get a nice picture of these 4 kids!


Oh, here Teagan is actually walking on the grass!



Chelsea lost another tooth this fall (and since this picture was taken she also lost the other front tooth and both are already growing in).  Chelsea isn't sure if there is a toothfairy.  She wants to believe it isn't real but I won't tell her whether or not she is real or not.  Either way she was happy with the money she got under her pillow.

Welcome back Lois! I was waiting and waiting for an update, now my day is complete! Even if the 365 didn't get completed (mine didn't either), I'm sure there were more pictures taken of day to day life as a result of the idea - nothing wrong with that!
