November

The weather has been cooling off and we've been enjoying a lot of outside time this month.  The girls are great garden helpers now too as you can see in the following photos of them helping me pull up sweet potatoes.  Here's Elsie.

 

Leonie.

 

Here they are with a cool green mushroom we found while hiking.

 

We had our first fire with the girls this month as well.  They were fascinated by the flames and very good about staying away from the heat.

 

We've been playing a few games during our inside time.  Here's a game from when I was a kid and the girls seem to love it too.

One of the most exciting events of November was finding a litter of kittens abandoned at the end of our road.  I was able to trap all five and we started fostering them for Tabby Tales.  The girls fell in love with them instantly, of course!  Here's Leonie with Yahtzee.

We continue to visit the Chiropractor weekly and the girls are getting pretty good at giving us adjustments, haha.  Here's Leonie adjusting daddy with a mask on from the toy bin.  Elsie is assisting.

 

At the end of the month we all got the flu and had to change our plans for Thanksgiving.  Luckily the girls faired pretty well, unlike Matthew and I, but here they are resting on the couch one morning. Elsie on the left.

 

 

We were supposed to drive to Tampa, FL for Thanksgiving to visit with my family but decided to stay home and stop spreading the flu.  Instead of a traditional meal, the girls helped me make tortillas for the first time and we had tacos.  They turned out great and we might have a new tradition now!  Here they are helping to mix the dough.  Elsie on the left.

Leonie's turn.

 

The final product!

 

We're all feeling better now and here's a silly photo of my cuties!  Elsie on the left.

 

 

Finally, some videos from this month.  Playing with the kittens.
