November 2012

Not too much happened this month.  Carson ate way too much candy (and mommy and daddy).  My reasoning is that I don't want him to eat all that candy himself so I should help get rid of some.  What's that?  I could throw it away you say?  That just seems wasteful.


Chloe got more and more attached to her comfort items.  This picture is just missing a pacifier.  She loves her blankie, stuffed animals, her milk cup, and of course, her pacifier.


The most exciting event from November was that Karl and I did a mud run with his little sister and her husband.  I slowed them down but Kim was a few months pregnant so I was really going slow for her.  I'm just that kind of person - willing to sacrifice for others : )

Look at the triumph!  (and all the gross mud).  It was a lot of fun, but it was also really hard.  Way harder than running a 5k.  The worst was when we had to go through these trenches that were filled with mud and then covered with boards.  So it was pitch black, I was bent over trudging through mud up to my waist, and there was no end in sight.  By the end of that obstacle I could barely move my legs.


My other complaint was that it hurt!  Look at how scraped up my legs were after.  And my arms looked the same.  I still have a few scars from this.  The mud had tons of little pieces of sharp gravel that cut me up as I army crawled.



Apparently I took zero Thanksgiving pics.  Oh, I remember now.  We went to my sister's house.  I was busily obsessed with Amazon lightning deals and checking my phone every 15 min.  I got a bunch of Christmas gifts through that.  It was awesome.  I also braved Target Black Friday on Thursday night.  It was a total success.  I got in line 1 hr before open and just read/played ipad.  I brought my own huge shopping bag so I wouldn't have to bother with a cart or basket.  I was so glad too.  The people with carts were stuck in traffic jams in the store forever.  I laughed as I weaved in and out of them...ha ha ha.  I knew the 5 things I wanted.  I ran in, grabbed them in order of priority and was out in 30 min.  I scored an awesome Razor scooter for Carson.  I mean...Santa scored an awesome Razor scooter for Carson.  Carrying that scooter with no cart was a little awkward...but worth it.

That's November!  On to December!
