Here’s the rest of what we were up to during the end of October.

The three of us before heading out to (an adult) friend’s birthday party. Layla came along and the boys stayed home with Nana.

At Elysian Brewing Company in Seattle (wow that was a yummy lunch!)

Then we stopped at Volunteer Park to play

Lake View cemetery is just north of the park. The boys enjoyed walking through and looking at all the tombstones. Some notable people here include John W. Nordstrom, Guy Carlton Phinney, and Bruce & Brandon Lee. Here we are checking out one of Seattle’s founders, Thomas Mercer’s grave.

Silas really didn’t like it that some of the flowers were blown over or out of their holders, so he helped put them back. He started to get a little carried away with the rearranging, but it was thoughtful, nonetheless.

We had a fun Halloween this year with our little munchkins! We went trick-or-treating with Indiana Jones, a forest ranger, an astronaut and a pink bunny. Lucky for us the rain held off just long enough for us to do all the trick-or-treating Mom and Dad really wanted to do and then it was time to head back to the house!

That’s Marshall, the dalmatian from Paw Patrol in the back, a cyclops on the right, and Little Bear from the Indian in the Cupboard in the front.

The boys with their loot

Earlier in the day the kids came home wanting their picture taken together (highly unusual). I was able to get these cute shots of the four of them:
