Project 365, Week 45

There was hard in this week and there was also a whole lotta ordinary. The kids are in school five days a week, participating in sports and we're working. So many blessings, the trick is to keep our focus there, which is an active, daily process! 

November 2

The girls had an away game, and thankfully it was streamed online. Shaun and I watched excitedly as they both got to go into the varsity game.

They come home from games or practices so hungry!

November 3

Election Day. Can we possibly talk about this anymore?? I'll just say, my two biggest thoughts as I was pulling out of the parking lot:

Thank you, brave men and women who have fought to make sure we have a democracy and a peaceful visit to the polls 

AND

Thank you, God, for your sovereignty. All day, this verse from Daniel rolled around in my head. Where we're concerned with the next four years, kingdoms have been rising and falling for thousands of years.

“Praise the name of God forever and ever,

    for he has all wisdom and power.

21 

He controls the course of world events;

    he removes kings and sets up other kings.

Aiden I were torn about Question #1...do we approve the proposed improvements and repairs to the library that will increase our taxes?? :)

November 4

Watching the girls do what they do makes us smile. Also, Avery scored!!

November 5

First home meet, last cross country meet for the season.

Girls Night In...we all chose something from The Defined Dish, cooked together and had a lovely candlelight meal.

November 6

I was witness to both the sunrise and the sunset. It was a good day.

November 7

The girls had an away soccer game, so Aiden and I were the runners in a local 4-mile race. There was a ceremony to honor Veterans and all proceeds went directly to veterans organizations. Its a well- organized, feel-good event and so sweet that Aiden was willing to do it with me. Also, the weather was unbeatable!  

I found a mostly naked man and a large American flag across the road. If I'd seen a human running in a Christmas tree and Safety Man, it would've been just like the Manchester Road Race. :)

We stopped for a quick pic at Mile 2, which Shaun sponsored.

Back at home, more raking. One of the biggest leaves I've ever seen!

Shaun and us three girls moved two washing machines and a dryer. Worth it to greatly improve our laundry closet situation.

November 8

Loving the temperatures in November! I got to be outside on the porch before daylight.

I walked with a friend on a path that was still clinging to fall. Pretty!

And then we worked around the house....at least some of us. :)
