November went a bit slower than usual for me, but that is because Dan was out of town most of the month. He's been busy working hard, and I've been busy doing what I do. (still haven't figured out exactly what I do, but I know I stay busy:))
I've been keeping myself busy taking care of the girls, helping at the school, and working. I am a substitute at the preschool that my sister works at, and I have such a fun time hanging out with all the cute kids. It seems, though, that there are a few of them having trouble getting my name right. I've been called Miss Ang-O, Miss Nangie, and most recently Miss Orangey. I do have such a great time. I also finally got signed up at a substitute for Jordan District, which means I'll have even more to keep me busy throughout the day. This month I was released as the Primary Secretary, which is still something that I am getting used to. My heart is still a little sad about it, but I know that I will be busy doing something else soon. Excited to see what is next for me!
The days are getting shorter and that means a lot more times spent indoors watching the kids doing silly stuff. Chris likes to make scavenger hunts for the kids and it involves having them do things to check off their lists.
The kids had to each do 10 pushups
They had to google what an 8 track was and find one in the house
This is just boys being boys
Then they had to do a group hug
Here they are doing their best Star Wars impressions
And this is their Lion King play
This is a fun way to keep the kids busy while they are inside.
Pretty soon it was almost time for Thanksgiving and time to make pies!! This year the girls really wanted to help, so we found things for them to do.
Yum!!
This Thanksgiving week we had the best weather. It's so nice seeing the kids outside playing this time of year.
Then we put up our Christmas decorations. Here is a picture of Hannah dancing while decorating.
The day before Thanksgiving Dan went to play basketball with some guys from work. Someone stepped on his foot and he fell right on his elbow. On Thanksgiving morning he was in a lot of pain so I drove him over to the ER after my family took a look at told him how bad it seemed.
Waiting to see the Dr. We actually got in and out really fast on Thanksgiving day. If you need to go to the ER, this is the time to do it :)
They took an xray and couldn't tell if it was fractured or not because of all the swelling. They decided to wrap the arm and put on a splint and now he gets to go see another doctor on Friday to see what damage is done. I'm hoping not much. I told him he was banned from basketball, because when he played last year, he came home with a big black eye.
Nikki slammed her finger in a car door, so on Thanksgiving after we got back from the ER we took a picture of the two injured.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
We needed a second table
The Franc kids have been off track for most of November, so one day I decided to take them to see a movie. We love Angie Movie Day!!
Emma did her book report on Wonder and I think she did a great job on her art project!
I took my girls to the dentist this month and once again they had no cavities. I'm hoping they end up having Dan's teeth, because he has never had a cavity and I have had too many.
Dan has been called as one of the organists in our ward. I took this picture of him as he was practicing before church one day. This is him telling me not to take pictures in the chapel. Haha!!
Emma loves my brother's dog Gracie!
I had the Franc boys come over another day and help me move all the art stuff at the school. Because they were such great helpers I took them to lunch. Look at these cute faces!
On Black Friday we headed out to do some shopping. This year we brought the girls along. They had such a great time and thought it was so cool.
Trying out the massage chairs at the mall
Then we made a visit to go and see Santa!
And there it is, a few days late but I've finally updated the blog. I hope that everyone is doing great and you all have a Merry Christmas!!!
