Wow! I can't believe November flew by so fast. We were so busy, that I thought I would blog our month in review. I'm sure I will probably have to do the same for December, since I know it will even be crazier with the big holiday and the little fact that my babies are turning 2! I still can't believe that! I can totally remember two years ago, feeling completely miserable and huge (and I was huge!). I remember going to my 35 week check with my MFM specialist with my bags in tow. I told everyone I wasn't going to leave without being admitted. But alas, I didn't have any pull with my doctor. Maybe I should have threatened him with me sitting on him, and maybe he would have caved. Who knows, but I left (with my bags) and a date for December 20 (which would have been 37 weeks 1 day). Seeing as how my power over anyone is completely useless, the boys had different plans and broke my water late on December 17. They were delivered very early in the morning on the 18th, thus getting me to 36 weeks 6 days. Looking back, now, I am so glad for those extra two weeks, because the boys and I left the hospital in two days, just in time for Christmas, but if you'd have told me that two years ago, I would probably have excommunicated you.
Enough with my ramblings, though...on to our November. It started with a spontaneous trip to the zoo to see the new orangutan and komodo dragon exhibits.
All 4 loved seeing one of their own. :) (And no, I don't have 5 kiddos. It seems like we always attract a few extra children or adults when we go places.)
We never spotted the dragon, so the boys loved on the stone one instead.
The new play area was also a hit!
Trying to get a group shot
Then came opening weekend of deer season (aka the beginnning of Jason's holiday season). Reid went hunting with Daddy, while the little guys and I headed to Mom and Dad's.
This is my kind of buck.
The little boys had their first train ride on the same train that I grew up riding.
It was so funny, because Parker and Logan sat by themselves, eating the whole thing up, and Chase, while he had fun, clung to Granmommy the whole time. The boys had a blast playing on the playground and having a picnic in the park.
The little boys also had their first taste of popcorn this month, which they LOVED!
Then, Reid had his first church choir concert. He had so much fun, that afterwards he asked if he could go back and sing again.
Finally, we made it to Thanksgiving. I always enjoy this holiday, because it is the only time of the year that I get to see my grandfather (Parker's namesake). This year, we had just shy of 50 people. So fun!
All of the kids enjoyed playing outside (and staying far away from the breakables inside).
Some triple mischief out back.
And at last, one of the two "Guys", Parker Guy and Guy Eugene (my grandfather), enjoying some of Mommy's requested banana pudding.
Now, onto December! It's the most wonderful time of the year, right?!
