we did pretty well this month keeping the calendar relatively clear of events and instead home with relaxing and catching up.
we had a load of compost and crushed rock delivered. felt good to not fill the garbage with plastic bags. the weather was mild and i was excited to weed and spade and then distributing the compost around the yard. R helped me get the rock into the potholes before the rain came. he also helped choose plants to fill our new front door bed, which now is complete, and looks great.
i don't regret skimping on yardwork during the summer when instead we camped and hiked. now is a perfect time of year to garden!
e and i attended a couple a fun movie nights. Arthur Christmas at the Y.
pinto gallo from the blue zones. always trying new recipes, especially love the healthy ones.
mantra for this Christmas season. downtime. enjoy. take care of ourselves.
we loved these little grasses in the summer, with their red tips. surprised to see how they change in the winter. still nice. we may still get some.
E harvested his carrots. very tasty!
junction night festival and tree lighting.
body love Kelly LeVeque. simple shredded brussel sprouts, apple, grapes. add in kale, nuts, cheese, etc, yum.

may your life be full of Thanks and Giving
We used my Israeli glasses!
R's Thanksgiving hosting was a total success.
Our two family friends, not previously acquainted, got along well.
the food was awesome. R rocked the Alton Brown turkey, his mom's potatoes of doom, and cranberries, as well as stuffing.
my favorite was two types of rolls :) i had 5. yep.
another favorite was the desserts. ice cream pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, and bread pudding!
1000 piece puzzle in 3 hours. it was great! the kids could come in and out to help. :)
the annual day-after-Thanksgiving cookie bake.
Christmas ships. we were all in bed, but we heard the singing start. R is a good dad! He got E out of bed and dressed warmly (it's cold!), and they got down to the beach for the last 2 songs. I stayed in bed.

Reading the dictionary by the fire... he knows how to party

For Veterans Day, we had a really cool opportunity to help put up 60 flags in our little neighborhood business area.
This season, we kept practicing until the end, but we had to move to a lighted field, which was shared by about 20 teams.
E was the MVP of the week, taking home the championship belt.
R and I haven't previously attended the poetry readings, but we got guilted into it this year, so we made it happen, and it was great!
R has energy for house projects! the stone floors look many shades lighter (and cleaner) after his hours of scrubbing and sealing.
Thanksgiving break camp.
a turkey
Thanksgiving morning zumba filled up the whole gym!
