Ok, I'm taking the easy way out and going to try and cover about twelveteen blog posts at once. It has been a busy month! This weekend, we went away for a mini-vacation to the Dells. Maya replied "WATER PARK!" to the question of what she wanted to do for the birthday, so away we went. Just for a few days, and combined with a day trip to Devil's Lake state park for a nice little getaway. Mouth got to do water slides, Vi got to eat french fries, Mom got to take pictures of leaves, and I got to put a few hundred miles on the M. Something for everyone!
Before that, a trip to the Arboretum trying to enjoy some outside before outside gets too cold. Maya, you were in rare form this day. After watching Kung Fu Panda several times, you declared yourself Master Tigress and practiced your moves for us. Then tore about trying to scare all the scarecrows. Classic stuff.
And even before that, Maya started (and finished) ice skating lessons. The whole family went the first time, to see her put on those skates and take to the ice.
She took to the ice like a Californian. Which is to say... Hated it. Spent most of the first lesson on her butt, getting very good at standing up on the skates though! By the second lesson, begging us to not have to go back, we caved and will wait until she gets a little bigger, has a chance to try it out with her cousins, or suddenly develops the urge to fall on her tush over and over and over again. Perhaps when we get further into winter, it will seem like a good idea again.
Three web albums is probably enough for the moment. Just home from the weekend there are plenty of clothes to wash, leaves to pick out of the M, and things to put away. But I hope this makes up a little bit for a month of not posting! Soon I hope we'll get into Violet's new teeth (and love of eating pretty much anything and everything), Maya's new year at school, and some more of the family's adventures.
