Turkey Day!

This Thanksgiving we ventured to Seaside to spend time with Skyler's parents and family. We had much fun lounging, taking trips to Costco, eating yummy food, playing domino's and laughing our way through Scattergories.
oh and I forgot to mention- it snowed! AT the BEACH! I was so excited obviously that I didn't get a picture of the actual beach with snow on it.

We had fun anyway, Hayley also learned to say snow!

We visited the Seaside Aquarium...

An almost escape by the octopus

Hayley did seem to enjoy the Merry-go-round this time, even though we were the only ones on it.

Day after Thanksgiving Parade in Seaside.

Saturday we left early and made the long drive home to Pullman. Where we had a good 6-8in of snow on the ground.

Cleaning binge

Last night, I said to myself,

"just go for it, the burners really need a scrubbing"

...then it was, "Hmm.. the oven door is kind of gross"

Which led to a half hour of scrubbing out the whole oven and replacing the foil on the bottom.

Then that led to,

" well, we'll be gone for a few days, I should really scrub down/clean out the fridge."

Which led to this:




I swear I didn't help her, I just helped Bunny and Black Bear face the camera rather then having bums out. :)

Craft Fair!

The much anticipated Craft Fair was today at Clarkston HS. It was lots bigger than I had imagined for a HS craft fair! A huge variety of items and sellers. I'll admit that I didn't do super well- but after all it was my first.

Superb day at the park this week

Fire Station trip!

Last week, our playgroup took a trip to the Fire Station!

Hayley and friends

I didn't know a shoe box size plastic bin could be so comfortable.

An amazing friend of mine, Laurel, took this picture of Hayley and I at the Fire Station. That is why it looks 100x better then all my other pics. :) Thanks Laurel!

I have noticed that the sunsets here are amazing, also this is the view from our front windows. It doesn't do the hills total justice though. The day after I snapped this picture they plowed the fields and now everything that was gold is now brown. Not nearly as pretty but we're adjusting.

Project week continued..

I decided to continue last weeks goal of getting things finished into this week. However, I came down with some kind of cold/flu that slowed things a bit. I fought it hard, averaging 6,ooo mg of vitamin C a day thanks to Emergen C packets. Until, I talked with a friend who is a nurse and advised me to back it off a little, but I'm feeling better now.

So-last weekend:

Polka dot skirt

Monday: Started 9 skirts, almost done but not ready to post.

Tuesday: Finished the hat with single flower and started Hayley' s hat with the double flowers.
Finished on Thursday.

Wednesday: I remembered I had some candy corn fabric and made Hayley a paper-bag style skirt, matching hair clip, and stitched some candy corn buttons I found onto the onesie I dyed last week.

Thursday: At project group I finally got around to doing some finishing touches on Hayley's costume, which was a costume that we wore as kids, my dad made! I just had to adjust the straps and make some antennae hair clips.

Friday: After the playgroup Halloween party I decided she needed a matching candy basket...

Hayley's friends at the party!

This week was also the Blazer's first game of the season! Yay!
