library

a cold, wet and chilly morning is best spent in the library.

happy halloween 2024

our first really wet and rainy year trick or treating, but that didn't take away from the fun!

ryder's front tooth

one of my favorite kid milestones is when they start to lose their front teeth, it is just too cute.  ryder's front tooth has been wiggly and he lost it just before school while brushing his teeth, i love his new toothless smile.

salmon hatchery

i got to chaperone bowie's class to the salmon hatchery today for their field trip.  it was a lot of fun learning about the life cycle of salmon and getting to know some of her classmates better.

doing our part

election anxiety is in full effect, but there is a sense of relief knowing we did our part.

library

the library put on a fun lifting literacy event that brought in a bunch of science experiments from the pacific science center.  i know i have said it many times before, but what an amazing resource the library system is!

work party

80's themed halloween party hosted by our PTA vice presidents

 

cracker toffee

we usually make this around christmas time, but we decorated with some spooky/fall toppings for a fun halloween treat. 

in its prime

this time of year our japanese maple tree is absolutely stunning!  the color of this tree is so vibrant and deep it is my favorite part of fall to watch it transform.
