In November we got a little bit of every type of weather, it was perfection. 

Gotta love after Halloween clearance.  Picked up this sweet Kylo helmet for $2! And notice the tank top and shorts…in November!

We had a few glorious weeks in the 60’s and even low 70’s.  

We pretty much made the kids live outside, since we didn’t know how long it would last. And we didn’t even eat dinner or do homework on most of the those days, because I just could not bare the thought of making them come inside when there were friends and sunshine to be enjoyed. 

Very slowly the leaves started falling and we got to have many jumping sessions.  

These kids are well trained and instantly form a line once the pile is ready and there are always “pile keepers” who will build the pile back up before the next kid can jump. :)  


There was lots of burying of kids in the leaf pile and then videoing them in slow motion jumping out.  It was highly entertaining.  


Michelle and I ventured to BYU. 


Always fun to be on campus, especially when it’s with one of my favorite Roomies.  


We wanted to stand in the quad and yell at all the students to enjoy this time, they will never get it back, soak it all in!!! But instead, we probably just convinced them not to have children too soon.  

notice, my shoeless child in November, in a public place, in bare feet.  Good parenting right there.  It’s all about survival.  


And lucky for us the weather held until we were able to make it Orem’s new All Together Playground.  I have a thing with crowds, especially at playgrounds.  


It was awesome.  We were only able to find the boy’s fence posts, so we will go back once the snow melts to find Macey and Ruby’s.  

Then finally, the last few days of November, we got our long awaited snow! It’s no fun playing outside when it’s cold, unless there is snow on the ground.

The first snow day there was about 20 kids playing out front! I would of gotten a picture, but I had 6 kids out there (we had 2 school friends over) and that kept me quite busy with dressing, undressing, fixing gloves, throwing snow balls and distributing hot chocolate.

And even the snow couldn’t keep Ruby from doing her chore of taking the garbage to the dumpster.  


Bring on Winter, I might actually be ready for you this year.
