November!

Oh little neglected blog of mine I do apologize for not coming to see you in...well over two months! That might be a record!
I knew coming into this fall season it was going to get batty around here, and well its been batty that's for sure! We are in a slow down season so now hopefully I will be able to get a few posts done before another month or two passes!

So I went through the Made for More study, and I totally forgot to get the girls to do an evaluation of what they liked/didn't like, and so I have no clue how it went for them. haha opps. There was some really good conversations and a few stories of girls being impacted, and so the rest is up to God and what He wants to do in them. Which I am totally ok with! It was good to do it with high school students. It was a little different taking peers through it, but with the students I had to think a little differently and tweak some things, but all in all I think it went well! Yay God!

Then Jeremy went to Nepal and my parents came to visit us. It was nice to see them, and I was super thankful for the extra help! Especially since I have to leave work at 5:40 each morning! It was so nice that they were here, super thankful!!

Then there was Halloween! My a lot of time has passed!! It was really fun this year because Ella was definitely into it. She dressed up as Princess Sophia, and she felt like a Princess too, it was cute! We went trick or treating around a friends neighborhood.  By the end of the night as she was running back to me from getting a peice of candy and screaming, "MOM I did it!! I said Trick or Treat, and I said THANK YOU!!!" haha She was super proud of herself, and I was very proud of her too! Its a neat journey watching these kids grow! :)
Miss Alivia was a Strawberry. Hahahaha the costume was from my parents and it was adorable!! I'm going to miss this toddler stage! She is just so darn cute, and I think I kiss her face hundreds of times in a day! She is such a joy and a crowd stopper! As people came up to get candy everyone "AWWWW Look at her! So adorable!!" haha it was really cute. Super thankful to get these seasons with my kiddos. What a gift they are.

God and I are doing great! Lots of things have been rattling around in my brain, and I will do another post on that later, but now its
to Thanksgiving fun! I was seeing so many people posting stuff on Christmas and it hit me! We get to decorate in THREE weeks!! WOOHOO My rule in my house is you don't decorate for Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving. I made this rule because if you decorate before then you just have two Christmas's basically! haha But, I may have rearranged my furniture to get ready for the tree already! haha :)
What about you, what is your Christmas decorating tradition?
