November

 

I went through a really long phase of not taking any pictures.  Sigh.

I do have some from my phone ...

Will try to capture a little of November ...

 

Sisters.

 

Colin took the Jackson to a cub scout event at the Texas Motor Speedway.

They camped out over night and got to see a lot of scouts and activities.

They even had Catholic Mass outside.

 

 

He also took all the boys on a camping trip to Bonham, Texas.

It was 28 degrees that night.

Crazy, crazy boys. 

I stayed home with the girls : )

Contrary to the looks on their faces, Colin says they had a great time!

I remember November being easier with Eleanor.

She turned six months old, started sleeping all night long, and just all around happier.

The first six months were hard.

She cried a lot.

But, then she got happier and easier : )

Had two fun afternoons shopping at some craft fairs with Danielle and Claire and their girls.

Craft fairs were kinda a bust, but really

enjoyed lunch downtown McKinney and then at Urban Rio.

 

Oooh, she fought me over this outfit.

She wants a dress EVERY day,

She screamed and cried and said she looked like a boy.

I still made her wear it.

 

 

 

One of Jackson's STEM projects ... Make a nest that would hold 4 marbles.

He is loving school and doing so well!

 

Pastries for Parents was in November... basically donuts with your kiddos before school started. 

And then a little shopping at the book fair. 

Maggie, Eleanor and I were headed to Market Street after the donuts, and when she asked about getting a cookie I told her she wouldn't get a cookie that day (mind you, it was 8 am).

She wasn't really happy with my answer ...

 

 

I had a quick visit from my friend, Kelly and her sweet husband and baby!!

My camera settings were all off and none of the pictures came out!

 

 

 

Finn is so adorable!!!!

Eleanor started sitting up by herself ...

I think she fell right after I took this picture.

Cooper got his bobcat badge!

 

Charlie at a Rock-climbing birthday party.

 

And just some pictures from around the house ... 

 

 

Jackson is always so sweet and helpful before school.

We would never leave on time if it weren't for his help.

Colin is gone before the kids even wake up, so it's a hustle to get everyone dressed, fed, and ready to leave by 7:15.

 

Trying to entertain Eleanor while we ate dinner together.

Obsessed with the cats.

 

I wish I could go back and fix my camera.  If only I had looked at my pictures I might have noticed!

 

Moving on to December ... not even sure if I took any Christmas pictures!
