NOVEMBER

Well, November has been completely neglected... all because I was intending on taking more pictures of my kids halloween costumes and never got around to it, so there is no more halloween fun to come. sorry
SO, onto November.
To Start the month, we had SPENCER's 1st BIRTHDAY!
Poor baby was sick on the day, and getting over it through the week. So we celebrated a few days later.
He got a present from Grandma and Grandpa NordquistAnd of course Timothy had to help him open it!
Nice cozy blanket! Thanks Grandma!
We also got a free cake from Macey's!
He actually didn't really like it. The frosting stuck to his hands and frustrated him... but he has learned to smile for the camera.
Timothy really liked it though.
So there is Spencer's birthday! I know it is TERRIBLE that I am finally documenting is over a month late... but such is life. Anyway, I love you SPENCER buddy and am so grateful to have you in my life!

Funny picture to explain... After I put up the birthday sign, I was taking pictures of the boys under it (it didn't end up working, the sign was too high) and Timothy would NOT stand still so I could take a picture, well, I snapped at him and told him to be still so I could get a picture ( he wanted his picture taken, really, he just wouldn't be still) so he gave me this look...
I think it puts "Puss in Boots" to shame!

So, life goes on as usual..
Daddy becomes a climbing gym, as well as their wrestling partner on a regular basis!
My boys LOVE ramen noodles and mac'n'cheese. It is a regular lunch at out house! Spencer can really shovel it in!
Timothy found a new place to fall asleep! (refer to this post to see more fun Timmy sleeping spots)
And I'm pretty sure that I picked up these books at least twice a day for the whole month of November... it is one of Spencer's favorite things to do.
It snowed a little bit a couple of days this month. So put on his cute snowsuit and we headed out to play.
Then, after months of looking forward to it, we went to Kentucky for Thanksgiving to visit Robby's family! While there, we ate, we worked, we played!Robby and his dad and brothers worked hard to get 5+ loads of wood for the wood burning furnace.Timothy really wanted to help. He asked the whole time Daddy was gone, if he could go with him. So he helped when they came back.
Grandma and Grandpa Evans farm had lots of fun stuff for Timothy. Sadly I didn't have my camera with me near often enough. but I'll tell you all the stuff we did and show the few pictures I have.
1. COWS! They have three cows. "Rosie cow, Marigold, and Blacky" Timothy loved the cows!
2. a pond. We went for a little boat ride. It was fun!
3. Tractor. Grandpa has a tractor that Timothy was obsessed with! After turkey dinner, we all went on a hayride and Timothy got to help grandpa drive the tractor... it was definitely a highlight of the trip!
5. Cats. Timothy had fun holding the cats! (sorry its dark)
6. Treehouse and swing. We spent lots of time playing in the treehouse and swinging on the swing!
7. Chickens! Timothy loved them! (I loved the idea of a food garbage for the chickens... made dinner clean up really easy!)
8. REALLY GOOD FOOD! Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixins and leftovers all week! Pie! mmm Timothy enjoyed it so much he even licked his tray! 9. We also did so many other fun things! like read, play piano, sing, play games, visit, etc. It was a GREAT vacation!

The last full day we were there, we helped set up the Christmas tree! Timothy was especially helpful with the lights! And redecorating the bottom half of the tree!Thank you mom and dad Evans for an AWESOME time!
Timothy also really loved flying on the airplane! And Thankfully both boys did really well!

So, that is the month of November in a large nut shell! now, ON to December and CHRISTMAS!
