The colors and views at the Japanese Gardens were amazing! It felt as if we were standing in the middle of a bunch of paintings.

Party girl
So Emma had not one, but TWO costume parties on Halloween! First her party at school with her kindergarten class--an afternoon filled with a costume parade around school, trick or treating in the gym, yummy snacks in her classroom, and topped off with a few rounds of "Boo Bingo"! Then in the evening she was off to her friend Rory's house to help celebrate his birthday. It was super cute seeing all the super heros, skeletons, pirates and princesses eating pizza and cupcakes and getting their trick or treat on!

Slappy cakes = happy cupcakes
Or insert your own food themed name for your kiddos! At any rate, making your own pancakes right at your table definitely scores high as a favorite place for Emma! Ken and I aren't convinced though. We rather enjoy someone else cooking our breakfast when we go out to eat! :~)

Fall photo shoot
It was too beautiful outside not to take a few pics of the girls enjoying the autumn sun! Emma was the leaf hunter--finding just the right leaves for an art project, and Addie was the taste tester.

pumpkin patch
Fun times with the Davidson's at the Pumpkin Patch. The cow train looked super fun, and I think Grandpa Thier and Uncle Nathan should consider building something like this! :) Addie had fun rolling around in the grass with some pumpkins. Ken and I enjoyed the apple cider donuts best!

Sweet corn, waffle, carmel ice cream please!
It may not sound like a good ice cream flavor, but I've learned you can't really go wrong at Salt & Straw! It was yum, Yum, YUMMY!
Natural beauty
It appears Addie was playing a little dress-up, but this sweet look was compliments of her savory beet soup she ate for lunch. I'm super happy someone else in the house seems to like beets as much a I do! Addie couldn't get enough of the soup today!

Slip dancing
Rory and Emma enjoyed their day off from school with a dance party. The Easter grass and fabric scraps make the floor extra slippery!
Fancy dinner
Dad's away in San Fran for work this weekend, so us girls decided to have a fancy candlelight dinner. I think Addie appreciated me turning on the lights later though--she's more into being able to SEE her food, than the ambiance.

Reading
Emma is starting to read, and I'm super impressed by her ability to sound words out. English does not always make sense!
