Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! We did! I took my whole "gang" to the library for Monster storytime in costumes. We trick or treated at a park with the local playgroup. And we went to a Halloween party at Holly's house. So here we have Lily "Flower Girl" (flower fairy), Gavin "The Flash", Mason "Batman" and Wyatt "Ninja". (Not pictured, baby Evelynn as an Octupus). We had a great time. The picture of their backs is their first door trick or treating and the rest is history. Next, is little Lily walking alone with her treat bag. She got left behind by the boys and Mama had to run her up to the door before it closed. But Gavin took care of his "wife" (he calls Lily). He would tell the homeowner as the group of kids rush the door for treats, "Don't forget about the little flower in the back". Thanks Gavin.

Oct 11 at the Pumpkin Patch, BRRRR

Ok, I don't know how it can be so cold and still be raining but it is. Cold, wet, and muddy, but perfect for the pumpkin patch! We had fun at the Chatfield Pumpkin Patch this morning. We got a couple tiny ones, gourds, and two HUGE ones. I had fun dressing Lily in her Halloweeny outfit. We went on a hay ride, made a craft, and roped some serious hay cattle. Fun stuff!

Beachcombing

I got a few cool beach pics I thought I would post. We found all kinds of critters and had so much fun. We took the ferry over to Vashon Island and drove to Robinson Point Park. We walked on a gorgeous quiet private beach. Then Sarah and I had the biggest Margaritas I have ever seen! I do hope Sarah and Scott find a house there!

Quick trip to Seattle...

One of my BFF's Sarah and husband Scott (also Mason's godparents) live in Seattle. I went out last Fall with Lily to visit so I thought this time I would take Mason. He was a good little traveler (as always). We got to play at Sarah's preschool/daycare and meet some new little friends in her class. We went to the downtown REI, which is crazy cool. It had a treehouse playhouse inside for the kids to play while parents shop, coffee shop, and a deli. We went to the Space Needle and Seattle center. We went out to eat and went to the beach and combed. Mason LOVED playing with his friends Alia and Zac. We both loved seeing our friends and having a mini vacation together. I am amazed at how Alia has grown into a lovely young lady and how Zac is quite knowledgeable on many topics. Thanks for having us you guys!!! We love you!
