The first half of November

Well hello again, mom! I am sure it is just my mother reading this blog. But at least I have one reader. Positive thinking, right?

Anyway, I thought I would catch up on our happenings. I get really far behind and then my posts end up forever long! Oh well, what else do you have to do mom?

We finally went to the Mellow Mushroom on Saturday. I didn't know it was a pizza place until we were walking in, so I was a little disappointed in my quick choice. However, it was really good pizza in a very cute environment. In case you can't see that small writing without your glasses, it says "this guy is roasting marshmallows in the restaurant." So cute. 

We got to sit in the "cut in half" streamline trailer. And yes that is a kyaker hanging from the ceiling.

Dawson started basketball season. I love it here way more than Jr Jazz. He is actually learning how to play basketball instead of just running around the court and the coaches are amazing.

Cait and Cora entered the reflections contest at school and they both won first place for their entries. Cait in photography and Cora drew a picture. Their entries are now in the city competition.

For Veterans Day we went to Sipsey Wilderness for a hike! It was so pretty! And quite the adventure! Cliffs and caves and water and huge leaves! See that bright spot on the rock at the front? That's a leaf!!! Shut the front door right! Huge!

If you look real close at Cora, she is holding a lovely bouquet of those huge leaves! 

Sometime the first part of this month we went to Fayetteville's Host of Christmas Past. Really all we did was eat and walk through the little cemetery tour. But it was kind of fun. A definite do for next year but I want to get there earlier in the day.

That same day we went to the mall for story time with Santa, the Grinch and Cindy Lou Who! Kind of lame, but the kids got milk and cookies and a pillow case. Hip hip hooray more linens. I do have to give props to Huntsville though, they have a ton of family friendly things to do, especially during the holidays. I can't even keep up with them all.

So happy day mom! Enjoy your afternoon with grandma and grandpa! And if you are lucky Soy Beans nine month pics will be up tomorrow sometime.
