This is probably what the original pilgrims and Indians looked like.

One happy pilgrim.

Dinner plate peek-a-boo.

New found love for whipped cream.

Our thanksgiving dinner party. Our neighbors Kathy and Anthony III, their son Anthony IV, his dad Anthony II, their friends Chris and Lauren, and us!

Eating dinner at 10pm when we got home because all the food at the feast was “yocky.”

Happy thanksgiving everyone!

We had our first call to Poison Control tonight. Trav got the lid off of a child-proof medicine container and drank the contents. All is well! No need to panic since the entire contents would not have hurt him. Dear Santa, please put one of those child-safe locks on the medicine cabinet. You know where they are.

Here is Elliot playing a tune.

Smarter than the average pill container.

Elliot is starting at a different preschool today. Here is what he looked like this morning along with his handsome little brother.

This guy is still getting used to the time change.

We went to a birthday party this past weekend.

Brotherly love.

Family game night. Elliot made his first mii.

This is the face of a boy who has a lot to say.

Here’s that same face with a candy smear.

Here’s the only other kid who showed up for our play date.

Elliot’s masterpiece.

Trav just wanted frosting. He did not care for the cookie.

Witches’ finger cookies! Creepy!

Here are some photos from our night last night. Elliot was dressed as Davy Crockett and Trav was Elmo. Some of our less educated group misinterpreted Elliot’s costume as Daniel Boone. We took note of their houses and egged them after they went to bed. Just kidding!

Here we are getting ready:

It was a little chilly out so we put jackets on under the costumes. Trav kept chucking his pumpkin when it got too heavy.

And here we go!

Peeking through the blinds… are they home?

It was just as much fun to ring doorbells as it was to say “trick or treat” and get candy. Sometimes, the person would answer the door and the kids were still ringing the doorbell.

Elmo got tired of walking so I had to carry him a little bit at the end. But he was never too tired to let go of his candy!

 Thank you, Cassel, for the adorable costumes!

We visited the Issaquah salmon hatchery today. We didn’t learn anything about salmon. But we ran around a lot. This statue is actual size of whichever species of salmon it is. I couldn’t hear the tour guide.

Turned out that the water was too low so no salmon were able to get through today. Bummer. So we just looked at the quiet, calm water where there is normally a bunch of splashy fish headed against the current.

This was a rainbow trout breeding area where we could feed the fish. Super fun!

There were other kids too, since we went with a church group. Here is a group shot with the Great Boy-Girl Divide represented.

We had m&m pancakes for lunch afterward. No photos of the event, but feel free to drool.

We made soft frosted cookies and had them after dinner with our milk. Don’t you wish you were here?

Not us!

This lovely picture was taken at the beach park this week. The speck between the trees is our own sweet Trav.

Pumpkin family.

Apple cider doughnuts.

Trav is prepared for the apocalypse.

Ghostly cake pops.

Darling clementines.

Darling boy!
