Last week of November

I signed Will up to get the flu shot at school. I bribed him with ice cream if he was brave enough to do it. He came home with a note that day saying he hadn't cooperated. So then we had to make an appointment. Luckily, there was very little fighting and tears (poor boy has some traumatic memories of hospitals) and so we still got a treat. This was him sending a thumbs up to Sterling after getting the shot.

Russell emptied almost an entire container of baby powder over his and Ruthie's entire bedroom. It was so thick in the air you couldn't even breath. It filled up an entire vacuum bag. This week Sterling and I decided to start calling Russ our evil minion. Truth.





It dropped temps this week for two days--one morning my van said 48 degrees! The kids thought they were dying, even with two jackets on each. We all survived, haha.





At the hospital getting iron infusions on Friday. It took 3 hours. Besides leaving a pretty decent bruise (Sterling said that's normal because they pump so much in) it was fairly easy.







Almost 35 weeks pregnant.
At A Christmas Carol with Ruthie and Leah and Abby. I was going to take my three kids, but then we had our friend Edison's birthday party on the same morning. This production was SO cute! It was only 50 minutes long, perfect for kids, and had so much audience interaction. They had kids come up to help clean the office, but they had to stop every time they heard Scrooge coming and hide--which was hilarious. Then they had one little boy come up and Scrooge told him to go around the corner and get him a goose, and the poor little boy was so confused, but he went around the corner, and then came out as Tiny Tim at the end and said "God bless, us, everyone." and it was to die for adorable. They asked them questions all throughout the play. It was just really, really cute.





Our stake does a live nativity every year. They cut back this year, which made me sad, but it was still a fun event to bring our kids to. A perfect way to invite the Christmas spirit in for the month of December!

I LOVE Russ's bear shirt--so cute! And every family needs an evil minion. It's just bound to happen. But that does not sound fun with the baby powder. I love the pictures of you and Sterling! You guys are the cutest and you're kind of sickening how cute you look on your fifth pregnancy. Gag.
