the sweetness of November

Life has been pretty great lately. Lots of walks, baking, homeschooling and hanging out with friends. Being open to life's possibilities.

Rick has been practicing music a lot at night so the girls and I have come up with a great night time rhythm. It is very sweet.

Giselle has started taking piano lessons and she makes sure to practice everyday. Today she randomly got up in the middle of her dinner and went over to the piano to play a few notes and then without having to remind her to come back to the table she just ran back like nothing ever happened... i love that.

Neomie loves to chant G G G G - telling her sister to come and see something or to help her with something (usually turning the tap on). there is A LOT of love there. Neomie went to the potty 3 times today. She loves flushing the toilet - she waves and says bye bye.

It is all very sweet.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

at the beginning of the evening we were torn between staying at home and handing out treats or going out and hitting up our neighbors for treats. in the end we split up - Richard staying home to hand out the goodies and Giselle and I toured around with our next door neighbors Troy & Kate and their two pirates Sam and Joe....

upon our return we had a raging Halloween party - a round of pin the tail on the pumpkin and a fishing game. thank you everyone for coming. it was so much fun.
