We’re excited to be doing some work around the house. We’ve lived here 6 years now and there are just some things that need to be fixed. We had a handyman come and give us a quote, but it was the cost of a trip to Disney World. Sooooo…even though neither of us are good at fixing things, we are going to give it a try.
We started off easy with little things like a new toilet seat, fixing a curtain rod, installing new blinds, adding a motion sensor battery light to the pantry…all little things, but things that make such a big difference in daily life. (I was home A LOT last year and really got to know our house!!) We also bought and assembled some new furniture. (more…)

It wasn’t raining on Saturday and it was beautiful out. For the past couple months, everyone has been so tired by the time the weekend comes around so we’ve just stayed home. Last weekend, we all wanted to get out. We had originally thought about going to a corn maze, but Mr. Ranier sounded more fun. We went out to breakfast, came home and packed some snacks and headed out.
The fall color were beautiful, and we were able to drive around the mountain on the Chinook Pass, which has always been closed when we’ve gone before. Thanks to missing a turn-off we were able to enjoy the snow for a bit! (more…)

Yesterday, I joined Molly’s class for a trip to the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery. Neither of us had ever been there and we learned a lot. (At least I did. She already knew everything from studying about it in class!)
It was raining (a lot) the entire time. But the kids didn’t seem to mind. It was a very “Seattle” day for me – Hunter Boots, NorthFace rain coat, Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks and the Salmon Hatchery. With my umbrella, I was still pretty dry by the end! (more…)

It’s hard to believe that another school year has begun! We’ve been busy the past couple weeks shopping for school supplies and of course, their first day of school outfits. (Remind me next year to not shop two days in a row at the mall with them. I was exhausted by the end!!)
Sage has to be out the door this year at 7:35, so it’s an early start for us! She got up at 6:15 this morning so she could get ready and have enough time to curl her hair. (She even had time to curl Ashley’s before she left!) I took her to her friend Elizabeth’s house, so she could walk to the bus stop with her this morning.

It’s just crazy to me that another school year is over! It was a hard year for our family because of my health, but we made it!! The girls loved their teachers and we are so proud of how hard they worked!
