Random November

This is just a completely random assortment of photos taken on my phone this month that needed to be documented before we move on to Christmas.  November was a pretty random month for sure, and although we still did not accomplish many of our usual Fall activities, we still managed to enjoy our time together.

First, Evan got his 7 year well check visit accomplished...only about 7 months late.  Haha!  Just in time for both boys to get their flu vaccines.  They were very happy to get the nasal spray one and not a shot.  Mommy was not so lucky, but she actually prefers the shot anyway. 

Just Brody having some random learning time playing with his robot Alphie.  He got this a couple of years ago for Christmas but is now able to do most of the cards by himself. 

I just had to document my yummy lunch at one of my most favorite little barbecue chain restaurants.  Most of these are in the eastern part of the state, but Eddie's hometown got one a few years ago so we hit it up whenever we are in town. 

I just loved this shot I got of Grady with his favorite Great-Grandpa. Grandpa just celebrated his 85th birthday.    

Yep, he loves him so much he wants to dress like him.  Grady has the added benefit of learning sign language, and he looks so cute signing "hat" when he wants to wear one.    

Brody asking me to take his picture wearing his Thanksgiving hat and holding the turkey he made at preschool.

Brody and I are not great at selfies, especially in darker restaurants with a camera phone.  Haha!

Brody enjoying one of big brother's carrots at a restaurant.  At least he uses the dip. 

The boys wanted a picture in front of one of the first Christmas trees of the season.  

A boy and his dog...best friends for life!

We enjoyed a nice walk to the neighborhood playground on one of our nicer 80 degree days.  Yay for no coats!  Of course, it was still kind of wet from a previous night's heavy rain.

Evan enjoyed leading the play as the oldest kid on the playground and directed the others on his dig site.

Brody pouting about something.  Nothing unusual there.

Making a mountain of mulch but at least they are playing well together..

Cocoa enjoyed her walk and being outside on a nice day.

"But why can't I come in to the playground?"

Serious Brody

Cooperating for a picture with the Target dog.

He loves a dog!

Trying to get big brother to cooperate.

A decent shot of both of them.  

We got to watch this movie we have been waiting for since the summer.

And apparently the theater's big fish tank got some new giant fish residents.  They were huge!
