Another super busy week with lots of doctors appts (midwife, chiropractor, and massage). Luckily no one seems to have caught A's strep throat and we did not have to make any repeat trips to the pediatrician. I also force fed my family some more Vitamix test recipes -- Homemade Nutella is everyone's favorite so far!
Big sister A finished reading another 10 books for November and got her free pizza on Monday night as part of Pizza Hut's Book It! program.
On Tuesday Brother M's Joy School Class went to the Christmas Electric Train exhibit at our local conservatory, but I forgot my camera! Brother M's class spent Thursday getting ready for the Christmas Nativity show next week.
We had some serious plumbing mishaps on Friday. Had to call the professionals on this one. NEVER flush baby or other wipes down the toilet, even if they say "flushable" the plumber said they are all bad and will (over time) clog up your sewer line. Lesson learned the hard way.
Because of our plumbing adventures, we almost didn't make it to the ward Christmas party... but the older kids were looking forward to seeing Santa so we raced to take showers and get our potluck dish ready in time.
Baby S still has no love for Santa.
We learned about owls at the nature center Saturday morning. They read Owl Moon, a story about owl watching.
The teacher also recommended a couple of great websites. You can download owls' calls at the Cornell Ornithology Website. And you can use the sounds to call owls to you! She said that she has had a lot of luck calling barred owls and they are very chatty even during the day. You can also see this cool owl cam that someone has filming great horned owls nesting on their second story deck in OKC.
They also did an owl craft with feathers and glue... notice her rainbow sweater that I finished awhile back. She loves it!
Then we went on our traditional tree cutting adventure. Big sister A and brother M pretended to be reindeer and pulled the sled.
The pulling get a lot harder when the tree was actually in the sled.
