Here we are a week in to November already, and it has been an absolutely gorgeous start to the month. It has been sunny and in the 60s-70s so far. It has been awesome, and I will definitely take it.
This past weekend, we took full advantage of the nice weather and spent a lot of time outside. Our church had our Fall Festival on Friday night, where we had a chili cook off and games for the kids to play. It was a pretty fun evening, and the kids loved being able to run round and play all evening with the other kids.
On Saturday, I took Emma to the library for some story time and some crafts. They were doing story time in the dark with shadow puppets and things that glow in the dark. Emma loved it, and really enjoyed the crafts after the story as well.
After the library, we went back home and worked on cleaning out the cars and washing them since it was so nice out. The kids loved helping with that. We spent the rest of the evening raking leaves and hanging out outside, and then we babysat Reese for the evening so Lizz and Dyllan could go to a hockey game by themselves. It was fun to have a baby in the house again, and the kids thought it was just great. Elliott was really cute and let her have his blanket, and the laid by her and rubbed her head. It was pretty cute. And Emma really enjoyed holding her and spending some time with her. They were so well behaved with Reese (but we still don't need another baby anytime soon). But Reese did very well, and it was a great evening of babysitting.
Yesterday was a day filled with church, some house cleaning, and then a trip out to Grandma Barb and Grandpa Jim's house. The kids had a blast playing outside. We even ran around with flashlights once it was dark, since it was so nice outside.
It was a great weekend filled with beautiful weather and lots of family time. John is getting ready to leave for Boston tomorrow, so I will be a single mom for the rest of the week. So, that will keep me nice and busy. Other than that, nothing too crazy going on this week. :)
