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?? :)

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.

Trick or Treat!

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!
