Sunday and Monday were so unseasonably warm that I broke out the sandals and shorts again.
We had dentist appointments on Monday - all but Regina - and afterwards we headed to the mall to do some secret Santa shopping.
Tuesday was election day, and Philip finally pulled out that janky tooth that's been stuck for m o n t h s. Clare, Tess & Noelle had work, Gina was gone, and Philip was playing at Jase's, so Natalie and I got subs at Subway and drove over the mountain to get milk. We heard geese flying south when we were unloading the milk.
Regina didn't make it to the dentist because Jeremy had to go out of town on Monday, so Sarah asked if Gina could come and stay to help absorb some of Layla's energy. Good thing she did, too, because Monday Sarah came down with something and spent most of the day on the couch, weak and feverish.
Wednesday Sarah brought Gina back and we had ninja in the afternoon.
The second week gave us our first snowfall of the season. Monday night the stores were mobbed because snow was in the forecast for the following afternoon. I didn't expect it to amount to anything, but was I ever surprised on Tuesday afternoon, when small flurries turned into huge onion snowflakes that lasted for hours. We ultimately got about 3 inches; it was enough for the kids to sled and build huge snowballs.
We did go ahead and reserve a spot at the campground for next summer, starting on May 1. Andy is super excited about having a place to unplug and disconnect from everything and just relax by a campfire. It's considerably closer to where he does a lot of his work, anyway. The RV is finally running again. Let's hope it stays that way!
