Valentine's Day

By

Hope you had a great Valentine's Day! 

Here in the Simpson household, we were rushing the night before to finish making our valentines! Now that Evie is in middle school, she doesn't have to give out valentines but we did want to take advantage of her new cake decorating kit and decided to make cookies to give out to her friends. For Nora, I was THAT mom that didn't want to give out more sweets or plastic so instead we decided to make all of her classmates oragami rings - bunnies and cats. I thought they were pretty durn cute myself!

We made a lot of rings.


Side note, the sun has been out much more lately and it's finally setting later in the evening so it's feeling very springlike even though we are still in February! 


Driving home the other night

Holler flowers!

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.

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!
