November 2016

We went to the Twin Falls temple as Ashlie is preparing for her mission. It was lovely to see my grandpa and silly aunts!

 Dallin at his friend's birthday party.

Thanksgiving weekend! We went to Boise. The men and boys always end up going shooting.

The kids took turns having the pukey bug, but they also played.

 Grandma Kennington made a quilt for Brynn!

 Fishing time.

 Sydney's math homework.

 Got our tree and stockings up!

 Our kids' charter school was a spot where the US Capital Christmas Tree made a stop. The kids sang and they had fun booths. I covered the story for a local news site.

Quotable Sniders

Without having to say anything, my kids know to share their pink Starbursts with me. #love

Dallin... Dallin... DALLIN did you feed the cat? Wait, where is the cat dish??? Found it! #distracted #ADHDlife

"DALLIN. Ok kid, go run around the block before school." #ADHDlife What helps your ADHD kid?

Best part of the election = watching SNL make fun of it all

Take a deep breath... God is still in control. Plus, America is awesome no matter what. #USA

The pollsters & media were off (duh). 
Americans are passionate and amazing.
Don't let fear rule you. It'll be fine. Somehow it always is.

Me: Goodnight! Close your door!
Brynn (age 2): Batman, Batman, Batman, Batman, Batman! *Random singing*
#WhatIsHappening

Many years ago, I had a dream that I had a feisty little toddler who corrected me on my diaper-changing technique. That dream has come to pass. Thanks to my 2-year-old Brynn for keeping me humble. (Still trying the potty thing with mixed results.... stinker.)

My heart flutters a little bit when Jon Snider gathers the children to go do chores outside. :) He's teaching the kids to work, AND it's quiet in here.

"I had three brothers just like you-- you won't win." --Me to my stinker 8 year old boy

Thanksgiving break = 4 caged animals I mean children

Sydney: (Talking about a first aid kit.)
Justin: When are they going to make a second aid kit?

(Sarah Kennington) First my three year old smeared a whole stick of red lipstick on the carpet and walls. Conrad Kennington cleaned that up. Then 3 hours later my 9 year old puked on it. I cleaned that up. And we even had a puke duet, brought to you by Sydney and Athena. Synchronized puking we could call it. RightCarrie Snider? Then Anna. Right now!
