November’s Monthly Menu

I meant to have this up earlier, but November snuck up on me. I’m already looking forward to Thanksgiving, and lots of dessert making. The weather is chilly and cool, and perfect for Autumn dishes. I’m still taking a little help in the kitchen with a few take-out nights, and I’m also keeping the menu simple during Thanksgiving.

Agnes’ 5th Birthday

Last Saturday we celebrated Agnes’ fifth birthday. The house was filled with family, friends, and fun. The weather was beautiful, and Agnes was ready to party.

Agnes had an amazingly fun birthday! Thanks again to everyone for making the party a blast!

Happy Halloween

This week has been a blur… There were days of baking for Halloween parties, parent/teacher conferences, and lots of Halloween parades at school. I’m exhausted, and we haven’t been trick-or-treating yet.

Agnes’ Halloween party and parade was on Wednesday. She was so excited, and dressed as Queen Elsa. Her best friend was dressed as Princess Anna, so that was too cute.

It was a little chilly in the morning.

Yesterday it was party and parade day for the boys. Dylan’s was first thing in the morning, and Thade’s was later in the afternoon.

Both of the parades were absolutely packed with people. Dylan was dressed as Spider-man, he was walking with his best buddy.

It was a great parade filled with lots of fantastic costumes.

Later in the day, the weather warmed up a bit, and we headed over to Thade’s school. We went extra early, and my goodness that school had even more parade watchers.

Thade and his best buddy had the same costume, even though they hadn’t planned it. It cracked me up, those two look like brothers.

It was a great parade!

Today the kids are out of school, and everyone is already anxious to get out of the house. It is only around 8:00 a.m., so I think that is a little too early for trick-or-treating.

Hope you and yours have a safe and very Happy Halloween!

Preschool Picture Day

A bit ago, it was time to choose an outfit for preschool pictures. Agnes was ready to tear through her closet and try on every single dress that she owned.

I told her to choose between three…

She finally decided on the last one for picture day!

She will have school photos again in the Spring, that means more outfits.
