Mourning routine.

These two are growing up so fast. They don't seem to want ANY help these days. Tear. No need for mom to comb Pea's hair, which she decided (and apparently every other 6 year old) must grow out. Harp likes to do her own thing (surprise) in the tub, which I normally let her do. It involves Barbie fashion shows and consuming soapy tea. Just stop. Stop Getting BIGGER. DO YOU HEAR ME??
Tantrum over.
But still...

The girls had a weekend away for my mom's impending 60th birthday. But it was to celebrate my sister's 21, my 30th, and her 60th. We went to Alderbrook Resort and it was beautiful and relaxing. We got massages and lounged around and then went to a nice dinner. The next morning we happened upon the most funky diner for breakfast! so fun. Loved spending time with my mom and sister and celebrating some amazing milestones!

Sweet Pea

Love getting to go on a date with just her; my sweet toothless Pea....

GRANDparents

We've been able to see more of Grandma Polly and Papa Tim these days. Here are some moments with them we love:) Thanks for always being there for us! We love you.

Yo ho yo Halloween

This year was the year of the Pirate House. We thought we'd seen it. Boy were we wrong, it's incredible! I'll have to get more pictures of it next year, but it's like being in Disneyland. This was also the year of no theme as you can see below. Pea decided she wanted to be a kitty and Harp decided LAST YEAR she wanted to be a princess flamingo. Just out of nowhere. And held tight to that dream all year long. They turned out really cute. I had a hard time letting go of the theme, but it was more enjoyable to see them love their costumes so much and not fight me putting them on. That was worth it! Besides Harp calling Casey, "fat" it was pleasant evening spent with the Lombardos, Bells, and Stenderas! Happy Halloween!

Our 8th.

This weekend it's our 8th wedding anniversary. We always miss the good Halloween parties, but nothing is more fun than spending time with Ty and watching others dress up on our special night;) This year we stayed at Hotel 1000; an amazing place. We went to Joule for dinner and then to a Huskies game (the Dawg Father tribute). Then in the morning we shopped and ate breakfast at the Five Spot. Such a fun night out just the two of us, celebrating 8years married!

Creepy Pumpkin Carvin'

Always a favorite tradition. Tyler is always very careful to create the perfect one, but this year he sort of free-styled which we all know is really MY thing. I made hot chocolate that no one drank. Pea's pumpkin turned out super creepy. Every time I look at it I shutter a bit (shiver...). She named it Winky, which clearly makes it worse. Also, side note: the next day I went out to check on them and a battalion of slugs had found their newest dwelling. Creeped me out. Then the best and most creepy smile of all award goes to Harps for this douse...creeptastic!
