Haloween in Spookane

Hi. Happy Halloween. I'm a witch and Gus is a ghost.

This was a super fun holiday for everyone. After a morning of play-doughing, we went over to Grandpa and Jeanne's for a little fall fun, petting horses, walking in the leaves, and eating a scrumptious chicken biscuit pie and cupcakes with M&M's!


Then we got on our costumes, did our makeup, and started knocking on doors. Our candy bags were full before we left South Regal. Gus promptly fell asleep while we went home so my parents could get all dressed up, and then we visited Sara and Charlie's incredibly scary house (I screamed!) and then off to my friends Bridget and Charlotte's house for some serious trick or treating. Needless to say, we totally scored with whole candy bars and a lot of play time. I can't wait to gorge on some candy this afternoon!

Okay, very slowly, I'm going to start to catch you up on our lives. I don't think I'll go all the way back to February 2009. Suffice to say, our last several months in Bozeman were blissful. We realized that we had built a wonderful community, a beautiful home, and a happy family during our six years in Montana. This made our move to Spokane very difficult and sad, but it also reminded us of of our own resilience and made us grateful for the bounty of goodness in our lives. We left our sweet little house (see picture of moving boxes in kitchen) and rolled down the highway all the way to another sweet house on five rolling acres in Spokane. Our new house is over 100 years old and is surrounded by mature gardens, fruit trees galore, and views all round. Gus and I love roaming around the place and finding all kinds of secret spots to play. There is only one thing missing: ANIMALS. I mean, Pika the cat is one thing, but we need a few more creatures to complete the picture here, now don't you think?

Fall Fun

OMG, I am SO behind on this blog. That's probably because my family moved this summer and I started kindergarten. I guess that's old news to all you blog followers (hellooooo out thereeee??!!). Anyhoo, I have tons of photos I need to post for posterity's sake. Here are a few from our beautiful fall that just ended today.

Wheeee

I love winter. I love sledding, ice skating, skiing, building snow forts, and riding my bike on the icy streets. What's not to love about snow??
