1. Birthday parties are the theme for November. We have a lot of them, including one for our very own special girl. We kicked off the month with a birthday party for one of Ellie's friends from TCP. Ellie had a great time and when I asked her what her favorite part was she responded that is was seeing her friend and her friend's mom.
2. Nick and I voted in our City Council elections on Tuesday. Having interactions with the City Council this past year (over the apartment complex being put up near us), we had opinions and were excited to make them known through voting. Nick and I agree almost exactly with our political views. It was one of the things we talked about the first night we really hung out how many years ago (yes, one of the 'do not talk about' topics when you are first getting to know someone). Anyway, I think this is the first time we have had a difference of opinion. I found this interesting and it gave us a little friendly debate on Tuesday.
3. We are hosting a Duplos House Party in a couple weeks. Our Party Pack arrived on Monday. Among other things, it contained a Jake and the Neverland Pirates Duplo ship. The ship come with a water cannon that shoots out the water pieces. The girls were enthralled with it on Monday night. Neve was laughing hysterically.
4. Daylight savings time... we started adjusting the girls' bedtimes on Thursday (aligned perfectly with Trick-or-Treating) and did so a little more each night until the time change on Sunday. Worked out pretty well, as both girls were asleep until 6:45 adjusted time on Sunday morning. I am going to mark it down in the book as a success and pat myself on the back for planning ahead.
5. Ellie and I went to TCP's Multicultural night last night (Nick stayed home with Neve since she has an early bedtime). Each room takes a country and decorates the room based on the country. They also come up with a few food items from the country, activities related to the country for the kids to do, and a craft project. It is a pretty cool night and VERY impressive. I may have learned a thing or two throughout the event as well.
