Date night

By
One of my birthday presents from Scott was tickets to see Les Mis when the tour came back into town. He got tickets for the day after Evie's birthday and we figured we could have a date night and the kids would love a night with the babysitter eating mac n cheese and watching TV. Sadly, our sitter bailed at the last minute so guess who was my date tonight? She was the best! 

We looked into the orchestra pit during intermission.
Actually, our date night started off not too well. Evie is really easily scared and hates any kind of remotely scary or uncomfortable movie and so I shouldn't have been surprised that within 2 minutes of the show starting, she turned to me and said "I don't like it. I want to go home!". I promised her it would get better and then her sit in my lap while I gave her some jelly bellies for being a good sport. I planned on bailing at intermission if she didn't like it but she ended up liking it! YEAH!

    So fun! Did she like the songs? Did she understand what was going on? The concept of a revolution and people being shot dead must've been pretty heady for her...

Happy new year!!

By
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.

Eating on the road

By
With all the COVID restrictions on restaurants and Scott not liking takeout service, we've gotten pretty good at planning meals for days we are out and about. We've basically taken to tailgating... a lot! It is nice though that it means having a hot meal to warm up after a day of playing in the snow and I'm not going to lie - it is also a good excuse to eat instant noodles because it is fast and easy and warming!   For overnight stays, we end up doing instant pot meals like one-pot spaghetti or chili, or easy meals like a cheese plate or sandwiches. It does save on $ so that's definitely nice but man, I can't wait to go out to restaurants again! Beef and barley soup lunch at Mt Baker. Chillin' with Chili at Crystal Mountain. Beautiful but cold picnic in Wenatchee Little girl loving her hot ramen over Blewitt Pass Jook after sledding at Crystale Springs Chicken Noodle Soup in the snow at Salmon Ridge. Pho bowls under the ferry awning at Diablo Lake.

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.
