Lydia was so cute, after her basketball games she loved to go outside and roll down the hill or do races with me down the hill by the school.
Cute Lucy!
The kids waiving goodbye to me from the Homeschool room while I head off to work. I love that the kids wave goodbye to me (almost every day).
The kids have really enjoyed "dance parties" in the dark. They like to turn off the lights and use glowsticks to dance in the dark. It is so fun.
Austin is so kind. Pulling Lydia around while she reads a book.

Lydia decided that she wanted to build a real life library. Sometimes Lydia's dreams are just so big it is hard to rein them in, but she went and built this by herself. She wanted to make sure the books would be safe and stay dry. Then she asked me to just put in a few nails to hold everything together. She was planning to have the "Grand Opening" of her library a few days later, but then we had to take down the library so the sheetrockers could bring back the sheetrock.
Lucy- still so cute.
Shan and Austin.
Cuddling to watch a show together.

This- this is evidence of how much Shan loves our little family. One of the kids (probably trying to help do some laundry) accidentally knocked over the laundry detergent. Unfortunately, no one reported this to Shantel. By the time she found it, this is how it looked. I wish I could insert Shantel's Marco Polo to Jenna. Right as this happened she messaged Jenna and was speechless on how to clean it up. How, do you clean up the laundry soap. If you try to use water....you'll just end up with a lot of bubbles. Fortunately, Jenna had a great idea and told her to use a bunch of washcloths to soak it up and then to throw those one at a time in with a load of laundry to still use the soap. It would be easy for Shantel to be upset, but instead, she just cleaned up the mess without any fuss and did not even worry about finding out which child was responsible. I am grateful for all the loads of laundry she does and for the many times she deals with things at home and I never know about her service.
Family Home evening. We made sock monkey's for our activity. It came straight out of the friend and Lydia was so excited for it. After we made them, we shared what we made with someone else.
Kids playing out in the snow.
Building domino's together. Lydia and Austin and I all worked on building some great domino strings.
Me and the kids playing out the the snow after a big snowstorm. We actually went out in the early afternoon and they wanted to stay outside until well after dark. We started by building a snow hill and doing some sledding. Then they decided they wanted to build an ice cave. We worked for 2 hours on their ice cave. Lydia and Austin took turns using a snowman's plastic hat to make snow blocks. Then the other one would carry the snow block over to the ice cave and put it on top. Then I would smash it down. We had a great time and the kids worked so hard. In the end we had a snow cave big enough for them to fit in and they were so happy.
Happy November!
