another award!

By
Nora-bearski got ANOTHER award a few weeks ago! This time, she got the Sensational Sockeye Award. (Sockeyes are the school mascot). The award is for students who demonstrate respectful, responsible, safe and caring choices. The reward is a certificate, a special lunch with some teachers and her picture up on the "big screen" during Wednesday lunch. 

I was surprised about all these awards because a) she can get into her fair of trouble at home and b) I don't remember Evie getting them. Well, we suck because when we asked Evie about it she told us she's gotten Sensational Sockeye 3 times - once in first grade and twice in second grade. That made us feel bad for not celebrating it with her when she got them like we did with Nora. 

The best part of the award so far has been that Nora has mentioned a few times how she tries really hard to be good at school because she wants to beat the other kids and get another award, haha.

Happy new year!!

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.

Glass art

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.

Trick or Treat!

By
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!
