November!

We had a really great November! It seemed to have flown by with all the fun activities we had and it’s crazy that here we are, almost at the end of the year!

Charlie had a special cub scout meeting where they cooked! He made grilled cheese with his den and then loved it so much that he made it at home too. 

Mellany got pretty sick at the beginning of the month and the only thing that helped make her feel better was an IV infusion at the dr office. It was a game-changer! 

Mellany and a couple friends attended their final Tomahowl Dance and had the most amazing time! While they danced the night away, the boys hung out at our house. It was fun for everyone!

Work at the rental house continued....and the boys never pass up a chance to get into an attic. 

Johnny loves pumpkin pie and I found a recipe where you make mini pumpkin pies. They were delicious! And so easy to make! 

Charlie officially dug up all the fossils from one of last year's Christmas gifts. haha! 

Johnny participated in his last Veteran’s Day program at the intermediate school and even got to carry the Indiana state flag. He did such a great job, I was so proud! 

The Northern Lights could be seen at our house one night. It was amazing!!!

Movie nights every Friday are my favorite thing about winter! 

The boys playing on the same basketball team is also a big time favorite! 

The Cub Scouts had their annual Rain Gutter Regatta. We didn't come home with any trophies, but they had fun! 

Charlie has figured out a "hack" to the school system....he figured out that if he does some of his morning math work at home, he has extra free time at school. This was him at 7:30 one morning when his teacher texted me asking if he was literally doing Xtra Math at that time because she was getting reports...

Another car line selfie with my favorite girl

Johnny had a field trip to Chicago and got paired with his bestie for the day! John was the chaperone on this one and said they had a great day! 

Dad & Teresa came to town to visit one weekend and they got to watch the boys play basketball which was really nice. It was also so nice outside that we got to play quite a bit of catch. 

Charlie's class did a reader's theater for Thanksgiving. They performed for other 3rd grade classes and he was a turkey. He said he really enjoyed it. 

Charlie also had a turkey disguise project where he disguised his turkey as Patrick Mahomes-his favorite QB! 

We celebrated Thanksgiving with the Okos' this year and had a really great holiday. 

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, the Okos girls met Mellany and I at the movie theater and watched Wicked 2.....it was incredible! 

That same day, the boys decided to see Zootopia 2 in 3D and said it was really good. 

While we were all at the movies, the snow started and we ended up with almost 6 inches! 

Another day at the rental....plowing snow this time....obviously Mellany and I were working really hard. :) 

We got Mellany's dance team pictures back....I can't even believe this is our baby girl....she's such a stunning young lady-inside and out!
