November 2012

Guess what, it’s only December 7^th and I’m updating the blog for November!  Don’t get used to timely posts, I reserve the right to go a year without posting at any time.  Our October activities overflowed into November.  Macy had her first school field trip to a farm.  She had a blast and it was so cute to see all the kids dressed in clothes that were totally them.  They got to pick pumpkins even though Halloween was over.  This worked though because prior to Halloween Macy refused to let us carve pumpkins.  So we carved them in November.  Tyler learned the Pumpkin Prayer at school and recited it for us complete with candle lighting.  He was rather proud of his Pumpkin Prayer.  We took the kids to the mall (before the stores opened) to get Christmas photos.  I decided to let them pick their own clothes and in true fashion to them, Macy picked to be gorgeous in sparkles and pink while Tyler picked to be silly with spider man Santa.  They had fun posing for pictures, especially with the candy canes.  What photo shoot would be complete without a candy cane sword fight?  And we managed to get all our photos just in time for security to come linger around us.  Tyler had a Thanksgiving feast at his school, where he said he was thankful for his friends Nolan, Zackee and Owen.  Macy’s class did a little show and also said their thanks.  Macy is thankful for her teachers, God and the new student, and our family.  Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Robyn, Uncle Ricky and Cousin Tori came to celebrate Thanksgiving with us.  Then we put up the tree, yes, we actually waited until after Thanksgiving this year to put up our tree.

A little catch up...

So I got a tad behind...or maybe a lot, depending on what you think can happen in a year.  There are now pictures for June 2012 - October 2012 in our photo album.  So to give you a quick run down on the goings on in the Harding house...
June - Neil decides to test me and say maybe we should try for a third.  So we agonize for a month.

July - Macy starts Kindergarten and we decide no third.  Instead lets build a ridiculously large playhouse in the back yard.

August - Well the playset is built but I'm still looking for something to do, so we rescue 5 puppies from a local pound and find homes for 4.  Flynn Ryder became the newest Harding.

September - after the mass chaos of 6 dogs and an extreme water birthday party, we need a vacation and took the best vacation EVER!  Kids has a blast, we had a blast, it was all good.

October - back to normal chaos with all sorts of Halloween festivities.  Macy was the Princess of Rainbow Fairies and Tyler was Bumblebee the transformer.

Given there are 5 months of photos for you to go through, I figured you didn't need to read a bunch of blah blah blah from me :-)  Enjoy the pictures!
