November stuff

Goodbye tomatillo bush! We made Enchiladas Verdes with the fruit from our plant and then dug it out!

Evan lost one of his front teeth by hitting himself in the mouth and knocking it out while playing light sabers. It took us a little while to find the tooth on the cement.

Then on Thanksgiving day- Thomas accidently hit Evan in the mouth while throwing a ball, his other front tooth became really loose and Evan pulled it out. Toothless for Christmas.

One of Camille’s favorite things to do, practice piano. Not really, she says piano is only fun when she can play what she wants. She has started making up songs and playing by ear, picking out familiar melodies.

Evan played basketball this season with some friends.

October Stuff


Can I tell you I hated planting this garden in 100 degree heat.  Summer garden was great when we planted in February. I grumbled for the few hours I was planting that Saturday, but Ben was out there all day. Everything is coming up beautifully.
East garden- cucumbers, romaine, radishes, onions & garlic

NE garden- asparagus(still holding on), brussel sprouts, cauliflower, and a glimpse of our massive tomatillo bush(we are just about done with it)

West garden- pole beans, herb garden, broccoli, radishes, onions

NW garden- snap peas, carrots, cabbage, spinach

For Halloween Camille wanted to be the Greek goddess,  Artemis. Camille has loved reading the Percy Jackson Book Series.
Evan- Harry Potter, again
Thomas- Lightning McQueen pit crew, again
I love it when they find what they want to wear
out of the costume box!


Evan played piano at the mall- he did great!
