Halloween 2010

What a great holiday right?!?  A holiday about dressing up and getting candy??  Love it.

Nana Mykie got Halloween shirts for the girls.  Here's Mira in hers. I think Danica's was in the wash this day. Danica got to go on a field trip to the pumpkin patch this year.  I told her she could draw a face on her pumpkin if she liked and then left her with a Sharpie to do so.
 She was very thorough!
 I picked up a pumpkin for Rob to carve with Danica.
The blank slate:
 Rob had her draw out a few faces and then they would choose her favorite.



It took some convincing to get her to stick her hand in there. haha.  
 Completed pumpkin!  You know what is so sad?  It sat outside for a weekish but never got lit!  Maybe next year.
 This year Halloween was on a Sunday so we enjoyed going to a ward Halloween party with the Dewsnup's.  The girls also got to go to my parent's ward halloween party. I'm fairly certain our ward's fell during a Duck game so of course that was not going to happen.  Silly people.  Skewed priorities.
 Danica LOVED getting to see Ruby at the party.  Their ward does great activities.  They had a haunted maze that Danica was apparently not a fan of though she asked if she could go again.  She gets scared easy-just like her mama.  Oh, and it might be important to add that she decided to be Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) for Halloween.
 Little Red Riding Hood wasn't in the best of moods.
 Grandpa came over to decorate Halloween cookies.

Grandpa's 80th Birthday PARTY!

This October we got to have a Perdue family reunion to celebrate Grandpa's 80th birthday.  Mykie and Mark rented a place outside of Redmond in Eagle Crest for us to stay at for the weekend.  It was super nice and we hope to be able to stay there again.  We found some hover toys in the cupboard- these grown boys could have been 5 year olds for how excited they got.  haha.  Rob has the best family; I sure did get lucky to marry into it.
 Mykie and I decided to do one of the puzzles.  We opted for the 100 piece one..it was so hard!  Don't let this pic fool you.  You can't tell but the puzzle is of a blurry picture so most of the pieces looked the same.  You couldn't tell what you had in your hand!  I'm not just a whiner, I swear!  =)  I felt very accomplished when we finished it though.
 Mira played shy girl all weekend.  It was kind of a bummer since Nana and Poppy don't get to visit with her very much as it is.

 We went bowling!  I love bowling.



 Marko beat the big group with his 150. But more awesomely (yea that's a word k?!) I got 99 bowling left-handed!
The girls scurried around with the boys in a game of football.  I didn't see anyone actually let them tough the ball but they had a blast.
 They got goodie bags.  Danica loved it.
 I'm so glad Danica had Adallyn to keep her entertained. They're so cute together.
 Happy Birthday Grandpa!
