First Snow of the Season.

It snowed last night in Bellingham! We had a waffle breakfast with friends and then went out sledding.

Liam is ready for action.

Liam and Katura couldn't resist eating the snow....

Getting ready to launch with help from Dad.

And from Mom and Silas.

Pirates Come to Visit

Putting on the gear...

Liam's two best friends from the Cottage School, Tommy and Greyson, came over to play after school on Friday.

Ahoy! Avast! Arrghh!

Halloween!

Last night we attended our friends, Bob and Kirstin's, 4th annual Halloween party. We've gone the past three years and it is always fun. Tons of kids, a potluck dinner and then we hit the streets to trick-or-treat. Liam was a knight, Silas was a baby dragon, and Gabe and I....Renaissance, perhaps???

Our friend, Bob, the "70's tennis guy".

Liam and Katura (his first crush).

My friend, Kirstin, and her little "pumpkin" Sawyer (3 months).

Part of the tribe.

Halloween preparation

Here are a few photos from the past week. We carved our pumpkins. Liam designed his face and worked hard at getting out "the guts" on Silas' pumpkin because I couldn't fit my hand inside! Whoops - too small an opening.

We had a few friends over the carve pumpkins and have cider. Here, the kids enjoy some apples and caramel.

Liam and his friend, Leah, earlier that same day....play dough and a tray of things from the kitchen to stick in the play dough. The oil cloth I got for our table is my new best friend!

Concentrating on his art project.

Silas - taking it all in.
