Halloweening

Well. The decade + of hating Halloween is over! We have a kid who can walk. Thus, we soaked it up this year! Birdie dressed up as a ... wait for it ... BIRD! A chicken, chick-a-dee, duck, canary, whatever you want to call it. She was some kind of cute fluffy bird. I took advantage of three events to dress her up for: Saturday's Pumpkin Bash at the Woodland Park Zoo and the ward trunk or treat as well as today's trick or treating around a friend's neighborhood.

The photos are out of order (if anyone knows how to help me get the new blogger uploader set up with my two old blogs, please tell me!) so sorry for the jumping around.

We saw an elephant!

Bird chills out for a pretzel break in the rain.

This is I think the only picture we got of her with the head on. This was tonight ... more on that later...

Back to the zoo. Birdie running from the bird room.

A plump birdie in the distance.

Wandering freely at the zoo.

Sitting on the steps at the elephant exhibit.

Ward party. She tried a sucker for the first time.

Tonight our friends Kelly and Christian invited us over for dinner and trick or treating in their cute neighborhood. Their 15 month old son was a monster. Birdie is 18 months old (and had her first day of nursery today; it was rough).

I'm not sure who had more fun, the parents or the kids.

And DONE.

This Old House

Here's our house in no particular picture order. I'm too lazy to narrate at the moment so it's The Bird's room, then our front room and kitchen and our bedroom. The usual 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom thing. And no pictures of our bathroom. It's kind of depressing.

'Round Here

Here are some random pictures of our area.

Adam took this picture while on a boat trip on Lake Washington.
These next ones are of The Bird's and my exploration of the Puget Sound area down the road from our place.

This is our neighborhood. The Bird and I were out playing in the street when Adam came home so he's in a few of these. These houses are directly across the street from us.
This is our backyard. We live in a triplex and the 3 dudes who live downstairs enter from the backyard, so although they are super nice and friendly , Birdie and I don't go back there much. We stick to walks in the street. She just likes puddles and rocks more than grass, what can I say?
This is our entrance on the right side of the house. 2 girls live next to us and they enter from the left side. Sienna goes up and down these steps a million times a day.

This is the front of the house. Our side is covered by that giant tree. It's lovely for privacy and shade but on the rare occasion that it's sunny and warm outside our place is still chilly inside. So I'm getting used to wearing socks and pants and long sleeved shirts and sometimes my big, poufy bathrobe around the house.
We have a garage and that's The Fo in front of it. We park Zippy inside the garage. She will not be used much in the next couple years because Adam rides the bus to and from school.

Here's Adam coming home from the bus stop which is super close.

Birdie kneeling in the water and sampling rocks.

This is a different day when we were out when Adam was just getting off the bus. Birdie runs to say hello.

She thinks it's really funny that he carries a thermos of hot chocolate with him to school. Ha ha!
We are next door to this nondescript corner bakery. It bakes bread all day every day to be distributed to stores and bakeries. You can also walk in and buy your own loaf if you want. And we ALWAYS want. But at $4 a loaf, it's expensive. And sooooooo good. The smell is delicious torture, but good thing I have my trusty breadmaker that makes a loaf that is almost just as tasty for way cheaper.
Here is Crown Hill Cemetary where The Bird and I enjoy quiet exploration.

One last shot for you. THE BIRD! She's growing up and soooo insanely cute. She can now: go down a slide without me holding onto her, go down a few steps if there is a rail to hold on to, run, kiss with her mouth closed (video coming soon), hug, and loves saying UH OH! She'll also say Wuh Wuh when she sees a dog, Miii when she sees a cat, Buh Bye when daddy leaves for school, Yeah to every question asked (another video coming soon). And one more month until nursery!
