Daily Photo: November 12 - 18, 2019

November 12, 2019 -- When all my library holds come in at once... Thankfully only one of these is a "14 day" turnaround read.

November 13, 2019 -- Through the What's Up Wednesday link up that I participate in, I discovered this "pasta primavera" type recipe. Of course, I usually use whatever vegetables are in the fridge so this day's featured carrots and bok choy. We all really enjoy this and the kids get a good helping of vegetables so it's definitely a win-win situation.

November 14, 2019 -- The kids had no school the next day, so when we all got home from our evening activities, I suggested we all curl up under blankets in the living room and read until we got tired. I meant to get a picture of my reading buddy falling asleep on her math homework (her choice!) on the couch but I forgot. Instead you get this picture of my book and a pile of blankets.

November 15, 2019 -- I was participating in an Instagram party of "post a picture of your day every hour" this day. However, this picture of Sam and Rachel enjoying some mid-morning hot chocolate was only for the blog. Otherwise, you can find the rest of my Friday on Instagram here.

November 16, 2019 -- After taking all the pictures on Friday, I forgot to take any on Saturday. Oops.

November 17, 2019 -- It was Bluey's birthday, also known as "two years ago this day, we bought Bluey." Rachel put up streamers by his bowl to celebrate and we sang Happy Birthday to him. Ha!

November 18, 2019 -- Our backyard yesterday. It looks, and feels like, spring around here. Hopefully all this snow will melt so we can deal with our piles of leaves (which will no longer be picked up by the city -- thanks for nothing early snow). And yes, my "laundry basket bench" is still out there in hopes that my outdoor laundry hanging days for this year are not completely done just yet.
