Everybody loves mail

Seriously, who doesn't love a surprise box filled with goodies!!! These kiddos are so blessed. 

My favorite

I spied this in the hall at Noah's school. It's fun to see how the kids process their world. For the record we never watch Sponge Bob and we just saw an iMax about lemurs in Madagascar. 

Burke Gilman trail

Throughout the city is the Burke Gilman Trail. It goes from Ballard all the way to the East Side. Most of the trail is nice smooth paved road that is safe and easy to bike. Some portions go on roads but most of it doesn't.  I've been doing pieces of the trail to see the city and it is so beautiful and relaxing! 


This section was on the shilsole bay and there was a rainbow over the bay. 


Along this section I crossed an area where the water transitioned from fresh water to salt water. The natives inhabited this area for its great salmon fishing because salmon need both fresh and salt water to live. This great statue stands as a tribute to the natives who have fished in this area for centuries. 

The purple store

This is real!it is a store that only sells purple things! We were only driving by but Maeve and I are dying to go inside. 

Pumpkin Carving



Noah carved a pumpkin at Boy Scouts so Maeve and I carved at home. We made a cute little kitty!

Halloween 103114

We had a nice Halloween here in Seattle. The day started out rainy but cleared up by the evening. We had a breakfast party in Maeve's classroom which was really nice. 

Later I went in to Noah's class party where kids dressed up, played lots of Halloween games and are some yummy snacks. It was awesome to see lots of creative home made costumes and a sweet homey party. 




After school we walked down to the Main Street in Queen Anne where all the businesses were handing out candy. It was really fun to see all the costumes in daylight. 


After that it was finally time to go trick or treating. Noah dressed up as a creeper from Minecraft and Maeve was Rainbow Dash from My little pony.



 The kids were gone for a long time and came home with tons and tons of candy. They were happy campers!!!
