Punk rock chick

The girls went to two different summer camps this summer - one week at Girls Rock Math and then two weeks at Club Connection, which is run by the same folks who do the Issaquah School District's after school care and the girls love. 

I was a bit trepidacious at them going back because COVID, but also really excited for them to be out of the house for an extended period of time on their own for the first time since last March! I think Nora has lost some social skills from being at home so much so I was actually a bit worried that she wouldn't make friends and what not. I was worried for nothing though because they both came back SO EXCITED and happy about camp, made lots of new friends and pleaded to sign up again next year. They said that even for the math camp so that's a win!

At the Club Connection camp (which really is more just daycare for older kids), Nora raced into the house to proudly show off the glitter hair paint she got on Crazy Hair day. It was really cute how happy coloring her hair made her and also kind of funny to me that Evie opted not to do it because a) the line was too long and b) she thought I would get mad! That tells you their personalities, doesn't it? 

The hair chalk washed right off so it was super easy to get out and was a good motivator for Nora to take a shower that day, 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.  

Cousins trip: Banff!

Just 2 weeks ago I was in the beautiful town of Banff enjoying girl time with my cousins and taking in the picturesque landscape and now I'm holed up in front of my computer doing work. Oh how I wish I could go back! This was my second trip to Banff (first time was back in 2019 on a roadtrip with the family ) and I got to check out other parts of this beautiful National Park while laughing it up with these girls to celebrate Frances' big birthday..  We all met up at Calgary airport on Friday morning and after a quick lunch at Calan Noodles for hand-made beef noodle soup (yum!), we hopped in our rental car and drove the 90 minutes to Banff. I was surprised and impressed at how easy the drive was - even easier than driving to Whistler because of the wide and well maintained freeway.  That first afternoon in Banff we walked around town and did some shopping before making our way to Brazen, a bistro serving "Modern Canadian" fare. What's Modern Canadian you ask? We di...

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.
