Punk rock chick

By

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.

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.

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.
