This week was a wild one, but we did get to check Titcomb Mountain auction, Chester Greenwood Day, getting a Christmas tree, Noah's violin concert and James' basketball off the list... that and some school mixed in there somewhere;)
Gabe finally got to march in the Chester Greenwood Day parade with the juggling group! He wished he hadn't had such a fun time the night before, but he pulled through and had a blast. The kids and I always enjoying watching this parade and seeing all of the great floats. It isn't often you get to see a parade in Maine in winter and when you get to watch it with friends, it's even better!
After the parade we stopped and picked out our Christmas tree... or two trees. Gabe wouldn't allow us to get the biggest tree (per usual and probably for good reason) so the compromise this year was to also get this little tree for $15 that Ben insisted (adamantly) that we get. What would we do with two trees? Stay tuned, I'll try and remember to post a picture... as it turned out he had a specific plan in mind all along.
This week also brought the first concert of the year for Noah who played the violin and sang in the chorus. James was also busy playing basketball this month on the Celtics. He is really getting the hang of the game this year, but sometimes gets a bit too aggressive and forgets about going for the ball and not just the person with the ball.
School is going really well so far this year with more independent work for Noah and James while Ben and Audrey are filling their days with some work, but still more play than school work. We are revisiting the human body in science.
