Halloween 2010!

Here are our Halloween 2010 pictures! We celebrated the whole month and had such a blast getting ready for the big day! To kick off the creepy festivities we started the month with a party with Piper's cousins. Piper had such a blast getting to hang out with ALL of them!! We had fun treats, did a craft, had a scavenger hunt around the apartment property, did the mummy wrap game and even watched a Halloween movie. Piper was in HEAVEN!

On Hallween, we went trick-or-treating with the kids in Donald and Julie's neighborhood and made bank with the candy!

Piper was a princess for halloween and Donald was her prince - giving her the royal treatment by carrying her! Bailey was the CUTEST bumble bee ever and cas content to hitch a ride in Julie's wagon and eat the pretzles she scored at the first house.

As we were leaving Donald and Julie's for the night, i snatched a chocolate dipped pretzle for ME to eat on the way home - obviously that didn't happen. Bailey caught sight of it and that's the end of that story.

Piper with her stash! Between that, the trunk-or-treat candy and the candy from school, I think she's set!

Leaves are Falling All Around!

So... we were SOOOO Super lucky to get to go home to IL last month to see Glam-mommy and Grandaddy AND Becky! We had a blast and the weather was GORGEOUS!! It was so nice to chill with mom and dad and see GG ang GG pa! We had lots of time to play at parks, go to the apple orchard and... play in the leaves! I've been building the leaves up for a while now and the first full day we were in IL I decided to take the girls over to GG's to play in the leaves. Piper would have NOTHING to do with it and I was SOOOO sad! I THOUGHT she had been excited for this moment. Turns out she was sick!!! So sadly I sat her in the car (didn't want her around GG and get her sick - danger) while Bailey, GG and I played in the leaves. She got better that night and the next day (and every day after) we came back and had such a blast. Bailey wasn't so sure about them but by the time we came back to TX I had gotten her to run into them. Then once she realized the leaves were touching her she would get out.

Glam-mommy got this little play set for the girls to play on in the back yard - It looked so dwarfed in their huge backyard but the girls LOVED it! We had lots of fun just with this little slide - makes me miss having a yard:(

I love that GG got in the leaves with Bailey! They just had so much fun! I could have watched them all day!

Curtis came for one of the weekends were were there and we got to go to the Apple Orchard!! Such a hit! We had a blast. So glad he was able to escape all his hard work and just play with us!
