i am off this weekend to one of the islands to help shoot a wedding and will be hanging around seattle when i’m not working. i am dreaming of cupcakes, a good coffee drink. hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
six
there is something about this age that could use a pause buttton, the transformation between 5 and 6 is overwhelmingly beautiful and bittersweet.
sushi dinner
we usually take turns picking out a friday nite restaurant but with limited choices up here we have now opted to picking out a fancy dinner that we can all make together as a family. last weekend we invited aunt suj and uncle jim to join us for a sushi dinner, made by us. (spicy tuna, sashimi, tamago, tuna + mango rolls and california rolls)
happy friday!
happy friday! this reminds me of stories of my mom eating sweets in a mango tree as a child in the philippines. it must be in lucy’s blood. anticipating a weekend of friends, sangria and possibly a little date with someone special.
raw smoothie
almost an everyday lunch at this point: coconut kefir, frozen bananas, kale, hemp seeds + blueberries.
camp pt.3
the last day of our wilderness camp, making tools- lucy with her makeshift bow + arrow, followed by a s’mores overload!
camp pt.2
first time fishing and learning how to make water safe to drink, day two of camp.
lovely things
the new neighborhood band, practicing on the front stoop. its been a real lazy week around here, reading, relaxing, playing with the neighbor kids and venturing out to neighboring towns. temps reached into the upper 90′s this week which is a very welcome change from the seattle gloom.
a few added lovelies:
-finding a super secret swimming pool near by
-happy to find a place (kinda) close for bulk foods
-booking a wedding
-getting reacquainted with dave
-having the neighbors over for movie nite
-a 10+ mile family bike ride
-feeling free
hope you find your lovelies list.
happy friday the 13th
may your day be filled with lots of luck and pleasantries. this might be a good excuse to try my hand at these.
wilderness camp
last week dave took some time off and we decided it would be a nice treat for lucy if they did a little wilderness camp together. we collected some hiking essentials, got fishing licenses, planned an agenda + packed her pack. they had an incredible time and came home everyday bursting with laughter, huge grins and stories of their adventures. she learned a lot and on the final day we celebrated by making s’mores!
her agenda
day one: mapping + fire building
day two: fishing + water
day three: shelter + tracks
day four: flora fauna + making tools
she completed every task, except for catching a fish, and was eager every morning to start their adventure. now she can’t wait to go camping to put all her knowledge to good use, especially to build the campfire.
