December Mish-mash


Having some drawing on the sidewalk time before it ends...

EHS Christmas banquet dress rehearsal



Some fun with Snapchat on our way to Cedar City. (Any filter that puts on my make up and whitens my teeth is my favorite) 😁😁



Cary taking a nap on the office floor...

In the midst of all the December craziness, the new playground for the preschool arrived. 
Hooray!
Cary, Kenneth, and I spent a few afternoons putting it all together. 
The kids got to play on it a couple of times before it snowed. 😄

Mom's cat was with me checking it out when I took these pictures.




I usually try to volunteer some time for the EHS banquet, I only helped on Friday night this year, but it's always fun to help out. 

The food was not it seemed... 😉. The "egg"was actually mozzarella and a tomato





I liked the little mouse radishes



The dessert wasn't finished here, but finished it looked like a taco, hamburger and sushi roll.

Next was the elementary progams


Brit was a mallard duck

Ella was a coyote

And Aidan was a reindeer (in a different play) and I didn't get a picture of him.


I wasn't really planning on going to the Border this year for the gingerbread house decorating, and then I thought we missed it, but it happened to land on a day where the kids were driving me up a wall, and Janille reminded me that it was happening, so it seemed like a good thing to do that day. We ended up having a nice time and the kids got to see their friends. There ended up not being very many people there (it's usually packed) so that was nice, for me. 😏










"We" started another project, and it required removing some flooring and revealed the old linoleum and brought back lots of memories!




This was a very cool looking cloud. 

Sunbathing kitties on our fancy set up. 😀

Miscellaneous November

We wake up the kids at 6:30 AM, and then the 3 older ones leave the house to meet the bus around 7:30, and then Clara grabs a blanket, snuggles up on the couch and requests that we turn on "George". (Curious George)






The time of the year where there are animals out on the fields and I went out to video the sheep and it turned out to be a really cool sunset instead.

Flowers in November

We had a dentist appointment and the girls insisted on dressing up for the occasion.



Ella ended up having two small cavities, (the first for our kids) but thankfully they are really fast at the kids dentist, so it wasn't a big deal.

The kids had a day off of school and Gwendy told Britton and Ella that they could go to preschool for the morning. Britton made an impressive tower!

I bought a "knot pillow" from Sharon at the craft fair, and this is how I found Britton with it. 😋

The kids love playing piano duets with their dad.

Clara has taken over my desk that is in the kitchen.


I say this a lot, but my favorite sight is walking in a room and everyone is reading (or playing quietly)!
