summing up november...

While October felt like the never-ending-month, November has flown by quicker than the wind storms it has brought.  I cannot seem to pin point the reason it has gone by so quickly but nonetheless it has and I honestly have no idea where the time went.

Charlie spent some of his time playing the guitar for us...

Sometimes a train works better than a pick...

The kids made a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY card for Great Grandma and Grandpa Larson's 60th wedding anniversary...

Charlie did his best to play computer games just like Emily and Jack...

He also began putting himself to sleep.  Lately he has been pointing to his room when he gets sleepy in the afternoon, puts his finger to his mouth making a shushing sound and then goes right to sleep in his crib.  It may have taken 16 months for this to happen but I will take it...

We had many festive lunches learning about turkeys, the Pilgrims and the Native Americans....

And we even got to spend a few afternoons with Grandma Emily making mess after mess at her house...

We made some super fun potato prints during craft time one afternoon and later turned them into tee pees...

The rest of the time we managed a few play dates, Emily had her first play date all on her own and I attended Emily's school conference.  We played at the park a few days, went on several walks around the neighborhood and built too many forts inside the house to count.  And that is just about ALL we did before THIRD SUNDAY and THANKSGIVING arrived.
