We realized at the beginning of October that we were on a streak: we’d planned a camping trip every single month of 2018 – except November. So we quickly took a look around and decided to book two nights at Lake Chelan’s city park for Veteran’s Day Weekend. It was such a fun trip! WeContinue reading “Weekend in Lake Chelan”

Halloween 2018
We hosted our annual pizza party before trick-or-treating for our neighborhood crew! (I was working in Seattle that week but, because my boss is awesome, she offered to meet up in West Seattle for the morning. So I ferried over, worked at Starbucks for a few hours, had a yummy Mediterranean lunch, and ferried homeContinue reading “Halloween 2018”
Pumpkins
We ordered a personalized pumpkin for the first time this year… and it was more stressful than I thought, coordinating a time in our schedule to go pick it up! But we did, and it was cute, and we put it on the porch. I also grabbed two big pumpkins from Costco for carving. HaleyContinue reading “Pumpkins”
Fall Favorite Things
My friend Toni threw a Fall Favorite Things party… and it was so fun! We each brought six items that we loved about fall, like candles, coffee cups, nail polish, scarves, etc. Then we snacked and ate dinner and drank Moscow Mules and laughed and got to take home six new things from everyone else’sContinue reading “Fall Favorite Things”
Pacific Beach
I have always wanted to do a fall trip to the coast, and with our camper we now have the chance to do that. So we scheduled a weekend at Pacific Beach with our friends the Bonnells, and we had the best time!
Back to School 2018
It’s that time of year! The kids are back in school, pumpkins are at the stores, and the smell of fall is in the air. We went out for ice cream the day before school started, just to put the final nail in summer. And then the lunch packing begins! 180 times a year… BothContinue reading “Back to School 2018”
Fall Family Photos
So my summer family photos didn’t look quite right for our Christmas card this year, and I didn’t want to ask my family to get dressed up for another photo shoot. But. Jim and I had a date night planned, and Ali was coming to babysit, and it was a beautiful day, and our neighborsContinue reading “Fall Family Photos”
And then it turned fall…
We knew it had to happen eventually. Suddenly the beautiful weather turned cold and rainy. Fortunately Jim and I have these new matching jackets. 😉 Jim’s Grandma Hall came up to watch one of JT’s football games and his Uncle Steve and Aunt Susan came too. It was so fun to have Oregon family hereContinue reading “And then it turned fall…”
Back to School
I can’t believe we have a third grader and a first grader. Today is the first day of school! But let me back up. We started back to school with me going back to my high school to lead professional development for the district’s teacher-librarians. It was the first time in 20 years I haveContinue reading “Back to School”
Do the Puyallup 2017
It’s officially called the Washington State Fair, but I think anyone who has lived in Washington for more than a decade calls it the Puyallup Fair. Jim and I grew up going to the Fair and I think we have gone every year our kids have been alive! This year we invited Preston and ToriContinue reading “Do the Puyallup 2017”
