The month of "gloom"
So November is upon us and the weather has finally taken a turn. The days are a bit warmer than the evenings and I like the cooler nights. The woodstove warms the house just enough to take the chill off and it's back to crock pot favorites for supper!
November can be gloomy though, cloudy and overcast skies and that chill in the air with a few snow flakes slying about here and there, but despite the dismal days, it can also be a month to reflect and enjoy the changing seasons, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and my birthday!
A friend and I enjoyed an annual craft fair this past weekend and hubby and I had friends over for dinner to show off our vacation pics and then I developed some nasty cold symptoms and a bit of laryingitis that kept me home from work one day this past week. Hannah has been sick as well with a nasty cough that acts up at night when she is trying to sleep! But I think we are both on the mend now!
The kids enjoyed a nice Halloween this year and had fun dressing up and trick or treating (even though Devon is a bit too old to trick or treat now!) with the neighbors this year. Because they went with the neighbors I forgot about their grandmothers who always like to see them dressed up! Will have to make up for that this weekend!
I've also started my Christmas shopping already! Have my lists made and quite a few things already bought. I'm staying practical, getting things people need, not necassarily what they want!
I've also started some home projects, quite by surprise actually. Got home from work one evening and began pulling wallpaper off the downstairs bathroom. Created quite a job, but hubby got right into it and it's half newly painted now and looks WAY better!
Now I'm picking out paint boarder for the kitchen!!
