happy halloween!

other than all the obvious reasons that it is super cool to have an almost halloween birthday, i think that it totally rocks to wake up the day after your birthday and it's like the party never stopped. it's just oh, hey there, let's keep this party going. we were all a bit tired from our crazy night with the loewen's, but it was halloween! so we rallied, and we had a fabulous day.

we took all the fixings to school for coen's class to make banana ghosts and clementine pumpkins.

marin and her birthday balloon watched some halloween dora. 

i took this little fishy to coen's school for picnic lunch. the big kids LOVED her. it was so sweet to see them include her on the playground. 

no party this year. none. except maybe we should have a couple friends over. just a couple. and maybe a few more. and. and. and. it's not a party, it's a get-together. okay, fine. it was a party. a mini-party. and it was fuuuuuuuuuun. 

these monsters terrify me. also, note marin's fake sneeze progression between the two pictures. she is so weird and funny. she fake sneezes at the most random times. it's like they are real sneezes, but they are not. 

hitting the streets. 

 

 marin owned it. she was like, here i got this. trick. or. treat. next.

it was so so so so so rainy. like POURING. you washington people would call it the pineapple express. we just call it rain. warm, down pouring rain. it did not stop our rainforest kids. they got drenched and they got candy. total win. we got them home and dry,  and in front of the tv with popcorn and a movie. total win. 

marin and sophie are quite the tech savvy girls. 

 

 

the next morning i looked up from the kitchen and saw this sweet little mummy looking at me. his room is a complete disaster in the background. evidence that lots of fun was had, and maybe a small-ish party.
