November Things...

I'm currently hiding out in my bedroom after giving in to my kids constant pleadings to watch the "What Does the Fox Say" video on youtube. Boston's Kindergarten teacher introduced him to the video, (Thank you Miss Schmidt) and ever since that blessed day, they have not stopped asking to watch it over and over and over....they think its the funniest thing ever and Boston has all the words memorized. I have never wanted to ram my head harder into a wall than I do at this very minute. This is also the 3rd day in a row Jeff has worked late into the night now that its basketball season, so that could be contributing to my bad mood ha. Hats off to all the single mothers. Kids are HARD by yourself!


November started with celebratory McDonald's happy meals for the kids filling their bean jar. (Every time they do something good, we put a bean in a jar. Every time they make a bad choice I take one out) It took them 3 months to get it filled, and this was what they wanted as a prize!








Is anyone sick of the zoo pictures yet?












Rylee loves Pascal!


Rylee got into the permanent markers - fun fact, it comes off great with alcohol!


Thanksgiving Crafts


Picking up Boston from school, and playing at the park!



Boston did good reading this month, so he earned his first pizza hut pizza! 


Boston got to go to a football game with Jeff and my Dad and Brothers. It was a late game and super cold, but Boston did awesome and loves BYU!! 







More cousin time...These girls sure are cute together!



Baking cake to take to bear lake for Great-Grandma's and Uncle Dustins birthday


Decided to set up the tree before we left for Bear Lake...I'm glad we did cause it probably still wouldn't be up if we waited. Rylee was in to EVERYTHING. So she got to watch a show while we finished, and Ellie got to put the star on the tree this year. 



I am really enjoying making cakes lately....This is a "Tonight Dough" cake.


Bear Lake Thanksgiving trip! We had a blast, and the barn was AWESOME! We ate and ate and ate, played games, and enjoyed the hot tub, went sledding, watched Christmas movies and just had a great time. 















 


























Ashley and Eric brought my new favorite game: Quelf. I have never laughed so hard. My dad had to wear a colander on his head the whole game. 


Update: Ellie and Boston are still watching the same video. Its played at least 10 times while i've been working on this...SEND HELP.
