Awana Awards Ceremony
We're so proud of the hard work the girls put in to learning all their verses for AWANA this year. Molly and Ashley both finished up their books mid way through the year and started working on their review books. Sage got 3/4 of the way through her book and will be...
Molly’s Field Trip to Seahurst Park
This is one of my favorite field trips. Seahurst Park at low tide is full of amazing things to see. We had some guides that taught us about the ocean and marine life and then we got to explore the tide pools in groups. The kids made lots of discoveries and I was so...
Ashley’s Zoo Field Trip
Ashley's kindergarten class went on a field trip to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. The weather in April can be hit or miss, but the day we went, it was sunny! Yay! I had a group of 3 girls and we walked all around the zoo with a few other moms and their...
Vancouver Canada for the Day
For Tom's birthday last September, my gift to him was a full day date without the kids. I was finally able to make that happen and my friend Dorthy took the girls after school for us! We headed up to Vancouver, Canada for the day. We haven't been up to Canada since...
Family Date
While things have been going much better around the house, we still have some days that are really tough. We decided that instead of just hanging out at home with nothing planned on a dreary Sunday afternoon, to plan a family date. I planned a few activities and...
Easter 2015
The day before Easter, we enjoyed some time around the house coloring eggs. Apparently they didn't like my natural Easter egg dying attempt because this year Sage asked me just to buy the dye in a box. So I splurged on a $1.29 box of dye. Lol. We also didn't hard...
Meet our Hamster, Daisy
The girls combined their money and bought a hamster. Her name is Daisy. About 3 days after we got her, we tried to hold her out of the cage and she escaped into a tiny crack between the bathroom cupboard and the wall. We tried to catch her with some homemade traps...
Tulip Festival
One of the things I have always wanted to do since we moved up here was to go see the tulips. Sunday was a bit rainy, but we managed to get out to see the tulips without getting too wet. They were beautiful! ...
Date Night
It was so nice to go out on a date Saturday night. We drove up to Seattle and restaurant hopped (Ray's Boathouse, Kickin' Boots and the El Camion Taco Truck). We also enjoyed the beautiful (but cold) view of the sunset at Golden Gardens and then the Seattle skyline...
Valentine’s Day
The week of Valentine's Day was busy. I was able to go to all 3 parties for the girls in their classroom and they had so much fun making valentines for their friends and classmates. Tom was off for the first time on Valentine's Day, so we made a nice dinner together...
