Playing

Parker & I played the SAME GAME of snakes & ladders for over 30 minutes.  I'm not sure if I feel worse about the cheating, or the fact that it still took forever to end?

Look at all those curls!

Bethany 100 Years Celebration, vs. 2

To celebrate our 100 year anniversary, Bethany had a service for all 6 locations at Husky stadium.

Parker helped pass out coloring books & crayons to the kids.

Cecily & Ella entertained each other.

Pumpkin Patch Adventure!

For the past few years, our church has had our Fall Festival at a pumpkin farm in Snohomish. The past few years it's been POURING rain, but it was actually nice out this year!

The kids had a great time picking out pumpkins.

We even let Parker get a duckie for the duck races.

AND, we sprang for a ride on the haywagon.  So, by the end of the adventure, we'd spent about as much as a trip to Disneyland, but the kids had a great time.

Swanson's

Cecily & I went to Swanson's for our Mama/Cecily Date.

This is the real reason she likes going: Snacks!

School Picture day

It's my cafe.

The kids built a "cafe" under Cecily's bed.

Bethany 100 year Celebration

We went down to Greenlake for the Bethany Community Church 100th birthday celebration.  We thought it would be an open house, it turned out to be a 90+ minute service with some music and many, many speakers.  Cecily spent about 5 of those minutes peacefully coloring and the remaining 85+ minutes whining about it being over.
