On Saturday, we went to our nephews' third birthday party. There were presents everywhere but, not surprisingly, the boys were most fascinated by a tiny tear in the window screen. They kept sneaking over to widen the rip and eventually tried to escape the house! They were quite miffed when Dan rotated the screen and the rip was out of reach. Luckily, distractions came in the form of many wheeled toys. The boys really love cars and trains (which makes my gift-buying life so much easier...)
Unfortunately, we couldn't stay long... though our reason for leaving was also fun. It was off to Mike's brother's house, to watch our nieces get ready for Homecoming. (Lie: Mike just wanted to intimidate their dates, especially since one of them is apparently nicknamed "the Stallion." He is an overprotective uncle... I weep for our unborn daughters.) Don't the girls look gorgeous?
We spent the night at James and Denise's and then got up early to head towards Seattle. We met up with T and K. It was off to the pumpkin patch with their adorable toddler. Little A is big enough this year to actually enjoy the art of pumpkin-picking, to say nothing for all of the farm animals she got to see. A gravitates towards piglets and kittens... good taste, I say!
We are so lucky to live in beautiful Pacific Northwest, near so many family members and friends. Reflecting back on that weekend makes me so glad that I moved away for college... and so glad that I moved back. Now I can really appreciate my good fortune!
