Halloween 2012

This year was kind of low key. I was getting stressed out with how many houses I would have to go to, but in the end, it turned out to be just 2 places I would have to go! Perfect!

This year, Spencer and I were pb&j. Didn't go too crazy this year. Adyson wanted to be tinkerbell and so Harper was just Belle. We took pictures at a local studio, and I will try to post them soon, if I can.

 We went to the trunk or treat with Gma King and Caro (her exchange student) at the church and the girls cleaned up! (gma king bought the bags! so cute!thanks)

Aren't they so cute!!! The Monday after Halloween a dentist has a candy buy back/donate to troops over seas, so we sorted though the candy, kept some, and Adyson and Harper made $6! ($2 per lbs). 

Pumpkin Carving Party!

Well, we did it again! We had the annual Rodeback/Bruce/King pumpkin carving party! It was a lot of fun! We had some really good soups, and some really yummy desserts! Adyson and Harper loved digging the guts out of their pumpkins. There was a cookie decorating station for the kids that were waiting to carve/done carving that my mother in law set up and it helped a lot! The pumpkins we got the girls were so thick and the skin was hard! I was going to let Adyson actually carve hers but i barely got through carving the top part! So their designs were really bad! Harper has a spider and Adyson has a butterfly

 i did cinderella for Adyson. Her pumpkin was too small to put it on

 Spencer carved a freehand scary face.

heres what they look like on our porch!

Preschool Halloween Party

Last Wednesday (24) we had a party for the preschool kids. I didnt post too many pics, I didnt know how the moms would feel, but the girls had lots of fun! They made skeletons, colored a book, made spider webs, did a cake walk, pumpkin bowling, and had some really good snacks! It was a lot of fun and the girls looked so cute in their costumes!

Apple Orchard

This past Wednesday (10/10) the preschool Adyson is in went on a field trip to an apple orchard in Soap Lake. The lady there dresses up as a big apple (Annie Apple) and takes the kids in the orchard, lets them pick an apple off the tree and shows them the equipment. At the end the kids get to pick an apple from the apple stand they have set up. Adyson had a lot of fun. She loved to pick the apple and she loved eating one at the end. They were so good! You can buy apples for 60 cents a pound or 90 cents for honeycrisp (our favorite!) Of course we bought some, because the store prices are crazy! It was so pretty there, maybe they will let us take some pictures there some day.

Big girl bed!

Harper is now in a toddler bed and has been for about a week! She is so excited and for the most part has done really well. She hasn't fallen out, and she will usually stay in the bed when we put her in it. She is getting molars right now so she gets out of bed almost every night and finds me, which I really wish she had a crib at those times!! But, she has to grow up sometime. Heres some picturess of her new bed (thanks crystal for the frame) and some of the decorations in their room.

  I was worried so I took her crib bumper and put in on the floor just in case. Didn't want her to fall on the hardwood. Turns out she didn't need it

can you tell this is a little girls room? lol not in the picture is a disney princess castle for their barbies and a disney princess kitchen. 

 my sister in law laska made the names, porters had the flowers on sale for a $1,my mother in law cathy  bought the cinderella picture, and my mom bought the butterfly and flower sun catchers.
