Sound of Music is one of my all-time favorite movies and was the very first movie we let Evie watch (well, just the Do-Re-Mi scene) several years ago. She sort of forgot about it for a while but a few weeks ago, on our drive down to Portland, PohPoh turned on her iTunes and we had a sing-a-long in the car. Since then, Evie's been really into "the kids" and all the songs they sing. She's even made me look up each "kid" online to see what they look like as adults (go IMDB them - it's fun!).
Anyway, this movie is her current Saturday morning TV-time favorite. We let her watch up until the "good night cuckoo" song, but it's enough to keep her singing and dancing all week long. I'm so happy that my love of this movie has passed down to my girls!
Even Nora wants to know "how do you solve a problem like Maria?"
Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted! We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.
We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.
Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
