Happy Thanksgiving. It was pretty quiet around here since we made the difficult decision to not invite anyone to Thanksgiving this year. And, actually, I took a call from Brynn's school principal on Sunday morning that she was identified as a close contact at school with another student who tested positive for the coronavirus. That meant Brynn would be in quarantine until December 3rd. So, even if we would have planed to have our family for Thanksgiving, we would have had to cancel. The point of contact was on the 18th and so far Brynn hasn't had any symptoms, so hopefully that means she's in the clear. Dana and I still both took this entire week off as Dana was starting the (fun!) project of redoing our stairs. Yay! Meanwhile, I did some errands and appointments and got some cleaning and other things done around the house...though it's difficult to clean around construction. 😕 Clara helped I decided to get my real ID while I had the chance. That took me to the Village...

This year we were invited to spend Halloween with the Weckerlys. I think most people were wondering what was best as far as celebrating Halloween in the middle of a pandemic. Since Hurdsfield is such a small community and they have a very low number of positive or active cases there, we felt it was probably a safer option than Fargo anyhow. Plus, with wind gusts up to 60 mph, it seemed like 'rona germs didn't stand a chance. (Kidding.) We came through Carrington on Friday for dinner at my parents' house and then continued on to Weckerlys' where they were watching the first 'Harry Potter' movie. So, Brynn was excited to get in on part of that. The next day the kids hung out and Chad helped with trick-or-treat training. We were joking with the kids with a pretend trick-or-treating dry run. Marsha didn't seem overly impressed with her costume, but she looked really cute. Auntie had a fun game of Halloween bingo planned. (Thank you to Tessa for some of these pic...
