Halloween

By

I forgot to share our Halloween pictures! 

After having watched Star Wars, the girls decided to be Rey and Princess Leia this year. It was a lot of fun to see them play make-believe and pretend to use the force around the house. Nora especially liked swinging her light saber around. 

Because of old 'Rona, we opted out of passing out candy or even going trick or treating. The girls were bummed but we made up for it by going to the Wong's house and have a fun evening. First, we (re: Moms) carved pumpkins, then we had "spooky spaghetti" and then did a Halloween candy hunt (a la Easter eggs) for them to get their candy fix. It was really amusing to see how long counting and trading candy and eggs can occupy the kids!

I have never really liked Halloween so I was surprised how sad I was that Halloween felt anti-climatic this year. I didn't think I'd miss trick or treating or seeing everyone's costumes or handing out candy, but without those things, Halloween just didn't feel the same. That said, I liked staying warm and cozy indoors and I think spooky spaghetti might have to become a tradition from now on!


The force is strong with these two

I did the middle Stars pumpkin

I'm eating eyeballs!!!

 


Some of you all might remember that Evie has been Princess Leia before. We pulled up some old pics - how cute was she?? :)

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.

1 week checkup

By
We took Nora to her one week check up today and guess what? We have a porker on our hands! She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. 5.5 oz. That's 2.5 oz more than her birth weight! They want the baby to be back at birth weight within 2 weeks so she beat that milestone pretty handily. Hooray! So far, she's been better than Evie at eating (she doesn't take nearly as long, although she falls asleep VERY often) but she's not as good as Evie at pooping. Poor thing always seems to have tummy issues - she's very squirmy and fussy when she doesn't burp or poop. The doc doesn't think it's a big problem though since she still has lots of wet diapers, but we'll have to keep a better eye on it now. We'll have another doctor check up (with shots!) next week.

black and blue

Poor little Nora! This little munchkin was running after her sister when we were out on a walk yesterday and tripped. She banged her face up pretty good, but thankfully it wasn't worse.  A big ole egg! she didn't like me trying to clean those scratches  breakfast thus morning! Lots of jam on her face to match her war wounds!
