November

I can't believe it is already December. November was jam packed with loads of fun. It started out with Caitlin turning 6. We celebrated for days, as is customary to do in our household!

She is growing so quickly before our eyes, and we are all so thrilled to know this amazing little girl! She lost her second tooth in November and is working on her top front wiggly teeth.


In November we continued on with our usual swim lessons. They are strong swimmers. Jayden  has been swimming with no floats on for a while and Caitlin is nearly there.


They are both still in karate as well. They are working hard towards their next belt, yellow for Cait, orange for Jayden. Their belt test takes place in December.

In November we continued on with our usual studies. We also took some time to discuss the history of Thanksgiving during one of our Teatime Tuesdays.





We took the kids to see a play put on by children. It was awesome!




Jayden started a programming class taught by a fellow homeschooler as well. He went with Juan, hence the lack of pictures, but it was amazing to see him come home and work on binary counting with his dad.



We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at home before heading over to a friends house for more food, dessert, and a wonderful evening!

And finally, we ended November with our tradition of buying a Christmas tree. We are preparing for Christmas and the New Year!


Jayden and Caitlin are working on a couple of Lego ornaments that they want to add to our tree this year.





November included family game time, raft making (this was done on dads watch!), and library time, although not very much since Juan had vacation and the kids stayed with him.








Goodbye November, hello December!

October!

October has been a full and busy month for us! There are TONS of pictures of our month, which included school, library, tea time Tuesday, petting zoos, pumpkin picking, pumpkin painting, library time, an amusement park trip, Halloween parties, trick or treating, hula hooping, swim lessons, and Sugar Skulls (while learning about Dia de los Muertos). I think that about covers it!
