November 2020

 Kylee got her driver's permit!  She whipped through the online driver's ed course and then had to wait awhile to get her scheduled drives with an instructor (who happened to be her Honors teacher from 8th grade).

I'll be honest, it was a bit nerve-wracking sitting in the passenger seat with her driving.  But she did great.  6 more months and she will have her license!

Kylee and Dylan spent a lot of time mowing lawns this.  They have gotten quite good at it.  And they have earned a lot of money. 

We FINALLY convinced Dylan to try contacts.  It took awhile for him to get it, but he was persistent.  Then he couldn't get it off his eyeball later that night and we had a small crisis, but he got it.  Then he dropped one on the floor and stepped on it and tore it and we had to go get more from the doctor.  A cool thing is his eyes both have the same prescription so he doesn't have to keep track of that. The doctor gave us an extra one just in case while we ordered some more.  He got the hang of it quickly in the mornings.  He has still lost or tore more than I would like, but he is doing better.

Climbing fun at the Edge!  Everyone has a great time there.  We only ever go on Family day so we can get a discount cause it is pricey!

Kaden played indoor soccer with his cousin.  The scheduling gets a bit tricky with Sadie's basketball on Saturdays too, but it mostly worked out, with the help of Sara and Jason.

Covid cancelled our Thanksgiving get together.  Carol had dinner with her daughter, but her daughter is high risk so we couldn't come spread germs there.  Instead, we had a quiet dinner at home with just our family.  It was quite nice.  I enjoy the big family get togethers too, but it was a nice break to spend time with just our family.  I didn't do any shopping either, just a little online.  I used the recipe of the smoked turkey Carol's daughter usually makes and it was yummy!  But it was tricky, lol.
