^We were shocked when school pics came home this year. :) Sarah wore her fashion glasses. What?! :) Oh well. We decided against retakes for the story. Kai has an eyebrows up surprised face, but oh well! Their pictures show their personality. Madison's turned out adorable. :)

^We started the day with a work out and then left for Seattle! 10 years since Ed and I lived there! We made a stop and Winco for bulk candy. hahaha! And found a yummy sandwich shop on the way.
^After checking into our hotel and getting gussied up, we headed to dinner and some shoe shopping. Dessert after of course!
^Back at the hotel- Maren equipped us with some seriously awesome animal masks, and we played some Skip-Bo and listened to Shania.

^The rain came. We went to a delicious, organic, fancy breakfast to start off the day.
^Then we went and saw the Fremont Troll and pulled our best troll faces.
^After the troll we went in for the most unique and cheap clothed group massage we have ever had. :)
^We took a ferry out to a little island and got some delicious homemade ice cream.
^When we got back we contributed to the nasty gum wall. Ew!!
^Then explored Pike Place Market and grabbed dinner.
^Our last stop was Top Pot donuts. I love donuts, but they create food babies...
^Snapchat never disappoints. :)
^Improv. All that matters is that we had fun.
Nov 6-
^Since we were so close we visited Kristen's brother's graveside in Puyallup, WA. They lost him 10 years ago and this is the first time she has been able to visit since the funeral. He was hit by a drunk driver on his mission. :( So glad we could do this with her.
^We grabbed a burger and headed back to Ridgefield.
^Love these ladies. Time and distance can't separate us. We join together once a year for a reset and friendship renewal. Ed's the best for staying home with the kids. For the first time we didn't take his car. We drove Larry- Mare's old car.

^He loves warmth, friends and surfing.
^They neighborhood preplanned a date night to the Morrissey concert. I went as a loner even though Ed was gone. I probably shouldn't have since I've never even heard Morrissey and the concert was bizarre and too graphic for my taste. Oh well! Lesson learned.

^Ed and the boys are simple. They surfed every day and went to a pro game one day.
Nov 14-
^More surfing.
^Kristen helped me repaint Sarah's room. Ed didn't want to- so we took it on ourselves and surprised him. This was my first time painting a room. I couldn't have done any of it without Kristen. It looks so much better! Much more calming.
^I ran out later to catch up with Steph quick.
^Last night with no Ed- so I let Sarah share the bed with me. :)

^Finding myself in a slump. Depressed. Time to figure it out for all our sakes. I made some appointments today. Good lots of times, but it's overwhelming the times I'm not. :( I can never tell if it's situational or a chemical imbalance.
