November

 Sometimes the girls are playing nicely when I check on them in the morning.

 Nathan, with Melanie and Oma's help, worked on a vest. It awaits pockets here.

 Our cute company dressed in leftover clothes, enjoying the snow with us!

 Trucks with wheels are the best for boys! (even when stuck in a borrowed girl's jacket)

 Evelyn proudly showing off the lion she drew by herself, based on the book's instructions.

 Jennifer followed some craft book instructions to make flowers out of plastic cutlery, testing out her new paints bought with her own money!

 What a lovely snowfall. Stickey and beautiful!

 Whatever the weather, the chickens need water and food...that's Matthew taking care of business.

 Nathan and Melanie are pleased to try out the deep snow on the hills.

 Zoom!

 The snowplow came, so there was a pile by the driveway to play on!

 And a run along the side of the driveway. The kids were disappointed that there wasn't a pile up on the right side. So they piled their own snow over.

 Evelyn was flinging her carpet back and forth while she walked up the driveway.

 Zoom!

 Evelyn and her doll with matching crowns.

 A jump was made, adding to the sliding fun! You can see the mashed up ground at the bottom--the idea was to land on your feet, not on your knees to keep going further.

 Nice to have your own horse!

 Daniel takes his chore of baking weekly very seriously.

Matthew is getting handier in the workshop. Here he is making a special spot for his socks to go in so he isn't so frustrated when looking for a pair.
