*Happy Birthday to Josh (Christopher's twin) as well. :)

What are you thankful for?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Today I am thankful for:
1. Cold weather. Keeps us all inside together.
2. Adult siblings who still like to play games. (Yay for pirates on the high seas!)
3. My almost 2 year old and his crazy/scrunchy grin.
4. My parents.
5. Warm socks.
6. The smell of turkey in the oven.
7. A decent camera.
8. Steve and his baking skills (among other things).
9. The chance to get some exercise in before filling up on cranberry sauce and stuffing.
10. Good music and good books.

These 2 Months
We've been in Oregon for 2 months now and I've realized that I don't have to much to say! It's been relatively busy for Steve. He's been volunteering at a local pharmacy, going to classes, and filling out applications for Pharmacy school, nearly had a job at Harry and David (they cancelled the evening shifts for his job and his classes/finals are in the way of the morning shift). He's also been called as the Assistant Scout Master for the 12 year old Scouts in our ward. Which means he will be camping one night a month until we move as well as helping with merit badges during the week.
What have I been doing? Hmm...excellent question! I ran into a friend (well, a classmate and study buddy) from high school last night and I really didn't have a clue what to say when he asked what I was up to. Where did I begin? Turns out I didn't need to answer because Christopher took that moment to knock some things over in the store, thus ensuring that my friend knew exactly how I spent my days.
For your benefit: I knit. I clean. I read. I still do some CFD stuff for Fiskars. I get down and dirty with glitter and ink. I play the "beep-beep" game at least once a day...we make "ucks" (trucks) go up and down our tummies and say "bee-bee". I help (at least I hope so) my mother. I've done a little computer work for my Dad. I have a Visiting Teaching assignment. I change diapers. I do laundry. I cook dinner occasionally. I take out the recycling. I watch too many episodes of The Backyardigans. I take too many photos. I edit most of those photos. I finish my scrapbooking assignments on time. I read books with chickens and "ucks" in them to keep my favorite son super happy. I dog sit for my parents when they are out of town. I plan.
And we're speaking in church on Sunday. Seriously thought the first counselor was going to give me a calling, not just ask us to speak. I'm okay with that...but it's strange not to have a calling after having several at once for years. What's a girl to do without a book group calling, a RS Enrichment calling, and a Nursery Leader calling? ;)

Ready for Thanksgiving
I finally found the motivation to get this turkey headband done. We started them last year in craft group and I left all the pieces in a bag until this week. I guess sometimes being sick is a good thing...you can get a LOT done!
I did a fair amount of knitting and reading as well. If you haven't read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, maybe you should head to the library tonight. Seriously. Don't you love books written in correspondence style?
All the hats we knit are packaged up to send to new babies, but I'm hoping to finish a green and white striped hat for Christopher tonight. That's the plan anyway...we'll see how that goes.

Sickies
We've been ill. That's my only excuse for no new posts this last week. Hoping to find the energy to do something worth blogging about.

Halloween Report
Our little frog had quite a lot of fun at the ward Trick-or-Treat. He didn't want to leave and then got mad when we tried to get him to take a bath and leave his candy with us. Smart kid! And now we have to give him raisins and call them "candy" so he won't beg for chocolate all day.
*Had to get a photo while we were all in orange!
