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.  

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.  

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!
