Novemberness

Russell got to help me vote- it was thrilling obviously

Russell likes to steal my phone and take pictures:

Goofy Russell!

We had a ridiculous amount of leaves in our yard because 

of the big trees behind our house. One day I had extra energy,

so we spent forever raking, and made a small dent. Russell 

was in little boy heaven playing in the piles I made.

Building block towers at preschool

Found what he wants for Christmas

Left Walmart with a new hat and a sticker!

We were volunteered to watch our friends beta fish while

they went to Utah for a week. Russell was so excited about it. 

He kept wanting to play with it the night they dropped it off. So

the next morning, he woke up early and quietly came downstairs

without waking us up. He decided to take the fish up to his room to

play. Unfortunately, he carried the fish in his hand and put in in an 

container. By the time I was told about his adventure, the fish was dead.

Luckily his owners were not that attached and though the whole thing 

was hilarious. We still wont be getting/ watching another fish!

Had a very touching fish funeral

Spoils from Grandma- PJs and gummie-dinosaurs

Spider-Man goes to Walmart- he also insisted

on reading this whole book and doing all the sound

buttons before we could leave.

Family cuddle session- belly, toddler, and dog

Getting an early start to Christmas decorating-

Russell was so excited to have his own tree

His Disney box came with a collection of Cars

puzzles. This was his first time doing a jigsaw type

puzzle. Definitely needs more practice to really 

understand the best ways of doing them.

Russell grabbed this rock from the park and decided

he wanted to paint it. (He loves when we find painted 

one hidden at parks and such.) Arts and crafts aren't really

his passion, and he was done after 2 minutes. But he was

happy with it and still grabs flat rocks to paint (not that

we have painted anymore, but we have a nice collection of rocks)

Enjoying a free taco and rocking his shades!

Just fighting bad guys in our backyard

A break from the fighting. Backpack on the

head to block the sun??

Harvested our carrots from the garden at 

Russell's request. They were still very small!
