November

Most of my time seems to be consumed with preparing food, feeding the boys, and cleaning it up. "Didn't I just feed you?" is the most common thought of the day. Timmy likes to look at the cereal boxes and milk cartons as he's eating.

It rained several times in the past few weeks. After a hard rain one morning, there were lots of puddles left over outside. On our way back from preschool, I instructed the boys to watch out for puddles. We carefully maneuvered around all the puddles, all the way home. Just as we came up to the door, I turned around to find that my little ducks had veered course and were laughing with great delight at running up and down the grass line through a huge puddle.
At that point, we decided that we might as well play outside for an hour and get our wiggles out.

Poor Lamby needed a double washing afterwards, along with all the other muddy clothes and shoes!
"We made a fort" says Timmy. This morning Scott and the boys used every chair and blanket they could find to make this little fort in the living room.

Yesterday for my birthday, we ate at our favorite German restaurant, Metzger's. They give 50% off your bill + a free dessert on your birthday! We had rouladen, kaese-spaetzle, potato pancakes, rye bread, rotkohl and bread pudding. Mmmmm!

Timmy and I made necklaces from the "Fun Stix" they gave us to play with.

We hope that when the forest is full of snow soon that we will still bundle up and visit our little Eeyore House.
