It's been a fun couple of weeks for the Gonzales family. :) The kids had a lot of fun during Red Ribbon Week at school. There was PJ day, wear red day, hat day, etc. The most fun was crazy hair day. I sprayed their hair bright colors and put crazy ponytails in their hair. Damian's class decided his hair looked like a tropical island.

Angel got Student of the Month on crazy hair day.

Also, our dining room was finished that day! Woo hoo!

For Halloween, D was a ninja, and Angel was a monkey - who became a flying monkey once we got to the dance center Halloween party, where Grandma Angie had her wings. :)

For November, I somehow missed taking pics for most of the first week. On Friday, the 6th, however, I took many. I went to the St. Louis temple - my first time going to the temple since I was 17 (other than open houses or dedications). I took pics of the sunrise on the way there,

me at the temple,

and then sunset on the way home.

What a beautiful day. The following day, we went to the farm where my mom keeps her horses. The kids had a great day riding horses

and playing with kittens and puppies.
This past week, Ang, Alyssa and I have decided to turn our pilates class into a walking hour instead. We all have some Halloween candy to burn off before Thanksgiving gets here. We've been walking at the mall. "Walking" is a loose term, though, when there's a 3 yr. old involved. My niece is keeping us on our toes!

We're sure to get skinny trying to keep up with her!
BMX season is now over for the year. Nov. 11 was the award ceremony. Damian won some cool riding goggles in the raffle.

And, of course, I'm still enjoying taking photos of the gorgeous autumn colors. :)

AND wildlife! These 3 turkeys were running around behind the houses on my street the other day! :)

So far, I'm loving November. :) Now, I'm going to go play a game w/ Angel, who's been (somewhat) patiently waiting for me. TTFN!
