Happy Halloween!

By
We started celebrating Halloween a bit early last Friday with the school's Spooky Spaghetti event. It consisted of a "spooky" tunnel walk through a dark hallway, a spaghetti buffet dinner, lots of dancing, and games spread across the campus. Evie had a BLAST running around with her friends whereas I think it was a bit overwhelming for Nora. She stuck by my side and wanted to go home pretty quickly. Too bad, cuz she was the cutest little Ladybug Girl there was! 

In line to enter the party!
Ladybug girl!

On the day of, I volunteered at Nora's classroom Harvest party. I ended up manning the STEM table where I helped the kiddos create a spider web out of cups and string, and had them try to see how many spiders (ie: little blocks) could stay on their web. It wasn't nearly as fun as the cupcake decorating table! Oh well, it was still fun to see Nora interacting with her buddies. The kids got to dress up in costumes for the 1 hr party and boy, there were a lot of princesses in there, Nora included. To be fair, they had to be able to put the costume on top of their clothes so Nora was not able to wear her ladybug outfit. Instead, she wore a Belle dress. 



Afterwards, we went to our friend's Kinsey and Kingston's house for a quick dinner and then trick or treating! Evie wore her Evie-from-Descendents costume and was racing around from house to house in her blue hair. We spied several other kids in Descendents outfits and they all shouted at each other "hi Evie!" or "Hi Mallory!" when they passed each other.

Kinsey's mom Kathy also had a spare Wonder Woman outfit she let me borrow so I partook in the fun and dressed up too! I also donned the pink wig I got a while ago so altogether, I feel like I looked like a drag queen haha. It was a terribly fitting outfit but they girls got a kick out of me getting dressed up. Seems like I might have to do it again next year!

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.
