my weekend in pictures.

Hello + Happy February! I can’t believe how l o n g January felt. Honestly. And we had rain and then snow and then non-stop rain (the wettest January in 10 years!) and the aftermath of the holidays. I can’t believe I haven’t blogged all month long. My apologies. And, the blog got an update! (We transitioned the back-end of the site, but updated it’s design as well.) Here’s some of our weekend!

{It’s been so muddy and soggy that backing our car in and out of the driveway is making so much mud on the sidewalk (I have to drive on the grass a bit if there are cars parked too close).

{Late this week Daphne’s new umbrella finally got delivered. She had been waiting for it all week! I’ll update in a few ~~weeks~~ days with Daphne’s two-and-a-half year update, but here’s the spoiler alert: she gave up her pacifier! And in return she got a new umbrella. She’s been wanting one since Eloise got hers for Christmas. And now she’s obsessed!}

{On Friday morning we headed east to KidsQuest Children’s Museum in Bellevue to meet up with friends. This is an old, old friend from my childhood who I went to preschool with (!) and her two boys who were in town visiting. Of course, I didn’t get a picture of the kids all together, but these girls LOVED the semi-truck cab and basically didn’t want to leave!}

{We headed to Northacres Park on Friday morning for the playground and splash pad with some of Eloise’s school friends. It was HOT but luckily we snagged some shade and had a picnic lunch.}

{We kicked off the weekend with dinner with friends. It was finally warm enough to be outside, so dinner on the deck and playing out back!}
