Please Pass The Blogger Ketchup - November 2011

On Veterans day in November, the girls had a program at their school where they honored Veterans in our neighborhood. The girls were so excited to have there dad go and be a part of the program. Each grade sang a patriotic song and the Veterans introduced themselves and said what branch of the military they served in and what wars they served in. After the program Steve and Addy and I went to lunch at Applebee's where Steve received a free lunch for being a veteran.

One day we had tuna sandwiches and Zac made this disgusting triple decker tuna sandwich.

I love my neighborhood and my ward. We have this running joke in our Relief Society about spandex. Our Relief Society Presidency declared October "National Visiting Teaching Month". In November we had an ABBA party for everyone who did their visiting teaching in October, and there was spandex a plenty. I think we have the greatest Relief Society Presidency ever and I am very excited to have recently joined ranks with them as their secretary.


The Wind Storm of '11. This actually occurred on December 1st, but for some reason the pictures are in my November folder so here they are in my November Ketchup post. The kids went outside to check out the wind. This black fence is huge and runs all through the neighborhood. During the storm each post on the fence collected a nice pile of tumbleweeds. Two months later and all those tumbleweeds are still there where the wind left them. Except for the posts in our yard, because we made the poor overworked kids clean them up.

It was time for new glasses. Zac, Em and I all got new pairs. Here are the kids in their new specs.
