Still no rain/snow/freezing rain
Among the branches, we found one that looks like Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree, so we just HAD to keep it!!! Rich found some wood to make a stand, and I grabbed a red ball ornament off the Christmas tree, and it is now sitting on our front porch! Rich is allergic to the real trees, so we can't keep it inside
It is now 4:30, and still no precipitation...but that is okay because we got a ton finished!!

Thanksgiving in California
On Thanksgiving Day, Jennifer thought that making a Gingerbread Train would be the PERFECT distraction until it was time to eat.
Friday, Rich and I got to see the New Moon movie. I think that this was done much better then Twilight. I can't wait to get my books back from Rachel so that I can re-read the book:) We also got to meet up with Bill, Colleen and Connor Martchenke. Sadly, it was only a few minutes in a crowded Mall, but it was nice to see them and it makes me miss the random evenings we used to hang out. Saturday, we made the LONG drive home, for the first time, it was to OUR HOME!!! Sunday, was a nice day, so Rich cleaned gutters, I worked on ivy and cleaning up dog poop, and Abra kept herself busy!!
Late is better then never

Christmas Presents
Other news...The flu has messed with Rich's sleep schedule. Though he is feeling better, his sleep clock has been rest to his natural night owl setting. He has been going to bed around 1 or 2 in the morning and sleeping in until 10 or 11. This week should be fun trying to reset the internal clock.
And Abra has a fever:( She acts JUST fine!! She just has a 101 fever every 6 hours (as the medicine wears off).

Weekend fun
Like most celebrations, there was a dance on Saturday night. Ethan and Abra were HILARIOUS!! They started dancing and then Ethan tried to "dip"her and they fell over!! They figured out the whole dipping problem by Abra just looking up at the ceiling. Then they started to twirl eachother!! It was GREAT!! I can't figure out how to uplaod videos, but it is on facebook if you want to see!
After the dance, it was TRANSFORMERS time!! Ethan got ready by getting his guns out.

Pumpkin time
What a weekend!
Abra helped the first batch and then had a great time playing in the flour. She quickly got bored and decided to go to the backyard and "work" with daddy.
Sunday we went to church and then the real fun began!! Rich and Rick decided at "drunk campfire" the night before that they were going to cut trees down. Our yard looks HUGE with these trees gone (and there are more things that are waiting to get cut down)
Here is the five in one tree that they cut down
The winch got it's first real use
And now look at that space. This is going to be where my garden will be next spring.
Any of you who have seen the backyard know that there are TONS of trees. My goal is get rid of most of the trees and bushes in the backyard and replace them with fruit trees and bushes and a little larger grass space. This tree was one that Rich didn't want to cut down, but again, at the drunk campfire, it was decided that he would suprise me and cut it down. We got both trees cut up and this week (in between raindrops) are going to be chipping the branches and cutting some of the larger branches for firewood!
