Daily Photo: November 5 - 11, 2019

November 5, 2019 -- This was our backyard last Tuesday. That's seven days ago people. See the last photo for a picture of what it looked like yesterday. Hint: It doesn't look like this. :(

November 6, 2019 -- I got some good job news (which I will share in a few weeks) so we went out for celebratory pitas. And we "Cheers-ed" with them!

November 7, 2019 -- A chilly evening called for hot tea and reading Harry Potter under blankets with Rachel.

November 8, 2019 -- It took me almost a week to get our family calendar done for November but I accomplished it this day. And wow, does our house fall apart when this calendar isn't updated! Ha! (Each person has their own colour, Sam and Rachel together have a separate colour, and our family has a colour. It's all very complicated -- hahahaha!!!)

November 9, 2019 -- The Christmas party for the kids through Dave's work was this day. I think Sam and Rachel are outgrowing it a bit, but they enjoyed this jousting. Rachel has excellent balance from dance and so neither kid won.

And I had to re-post this picture of Sam and his friend, J, doing the same thing at the State Fair in Alaska in July :)

November 10, 2019 -- It was chilly day (again -- argh), so I baked buns and made a kale-tomato stew. Surprisingly, Rachel LOVED it (and is taking it in her thermos for lunches this week) and Sam didn't like it.

November 11, 2019 -- And this is our backyard currently, six days after the first picture in this post. I'm so glad we'd gotten all the backyard things done the previous day -- taking the bouncy part off the trampoline, raking leaves, and putting away the picnic table and the rain barrel. We got all this snow in about eight hours. Ugh.
