Halloween 2014

Charlotte initially rejected her home made Rainbow Dash costume due to unsatisfactory pants, so she wore last year's flamingo costume to her school Halloween party.

With retooled pants, we had some pizza at the Maloneys and headed to Madrona for some trick or treating. Mama and daddy were Applejack, and Shining Armor, respectively. We trekked tirelessly through the neighborhood and Charlotte took in quite a candy haul!

Pumpkin patch

All the families from Charlotte's preschool class went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch today. We did a corn maze, pet some goats, and of course rode the tractor to the pumpkin field to pick out our pumpkins. 

Doing the Puyallup

While Mama was visiting friends in Austin, TX, Charlotte, Daddy, and BFF Carrie Ella went to the state fair. Rides, cotton candy, ball pits, sheep petting- everything a fair-going toddler could ask for!

Big Girl Bed

Now that we have moved into a new house and started preschool, it's time for the next big transition- big girl bed! Charlotte's crib converts to a toddler bed, which made things go a little more smoothly. We went pillow shopping at Macy's, and had a fairy pillowcase from Bubba Linda and a fairy blanket from Shelly! Charlotte took to the arrangement immediately and was very excited to get in and out all by herself. Luckily for us, the idea of getting out of her bed once she is tucked in at night has somehow not occured to her yet :)

Our Little Library

Matt's firm took part in a competition to design a neighborhood lending library and it turned out really cool. Charlotte was of course on hand to help with construction. We can hardly wait for the shelves to fill up.

Haircut and Girls Night

After our weekend roughing it in our yurt, Charlotte and mama had a girls night out. After a haircut at the kiddie salon, we had sushi and some ice cream. Back to civilization!

Glamping

Charlotte had her first camping trip over Labor Day. We stayed in a yurt at Kanasket Palmer State Park on the Green River. Her favorite part was definitely the marshmallow roasting!
