A very productive day!

After spending the weekend relaxing, going to the GU game and just lounging around, yesterday was a productive day!  We cleaned up the house, did some laundry, went grocery shopping, but also did a few fun things!  First Chris pickled some beets that we got from our Full Circle basket.  Full Circle, is organic fruit/vegetable service that we just heard of and signed up for.  Their pickup site for us is literally within walking distance.  We decided to try it and it was really cool!  You can order pretty much anything and it will come from local farms around Washington.  The smallest box is $21 per week.  With Thanksgiving, we pretty much blew through that the first day!  Anyway, we received beets in our shipment so Chris decided to pickle them.  I will let you know on Dec 4th how they turned out!

Next, the kids played super hero and butterfly.  It is so funny to hear them play the same pretend game with their different imaginations.  Matthew tied his baby blanket around himself and Maggie had a crown and butterfly wings on!

Last, we made our 3rd annual trek to the garage for the Christmas tree!  As usual, it was nice and easy to find our tree!  We let the kids decorate it and now it is beginning to look like Christmas around here!  Yay!  Also had to include a picture of Matthew's list for Santa!  It is too cute!
