Hello, hello! I hope everyone had a fabulous week! Things were great out here, and Brooke loved her first time trick or treating! Halloween was definitely a blast, though we should have left out more candy when left to go with Brooke... But we learned for next year.
Here is Brooke with all her candy! She got a TON! This is combined from the ward trunk or treat on Saturday, going to a Parker main street trick or treat event where businesses handed out candy, and trick or treating in our neighborhood! Definitely more than she needs, maybe more than we need...
When we got home Brooke noticed her makeup needed a little work! Then when we were getting ready for bed after trick or treating Brooke wanted to wear my hat. It's basically her size.
As for pumpkins, I think I found a pretty winning idea! Monica said one day we had a package delivered, and then right after she saw the delivery guy walking back up to the door and pull out his phone. She realized he was taking a picture of my pumpkin!
Monica went Harry Potter themed. I wish I had gotten a picture earlier before the eyes fell down. :(
One day when I was leaving for work I saw a squirrel on our roof above the front door. We see squirrels a lot running around in the trees in the back yard and such, but I haven't really seen them in the front yard and thought it was weird so I snapped a picture. I'm glad I did...
Because then a day or two later our pumpkins looked like this... Guess they were hungry.
Last week I mentioned that my games all came in for my kickstarter. Well, I got them all assembled and packaged this week and shipped them out on Friday! So if you backed the project they should hopefully be arriving this next week! Please enjoy!
Jelly continues to be ever so cute! Friday we opened a window and she sat in the window watching the squirrels for a long time. So long, in fact, that she missed her afternoon nap. She was sooo tired when it was finally time for bed! Such a kitty!
Last night Monica had a party, so I took Brooke out for a daddy daughter date. We went to Noodles and Company, and Brooke got chocolate milk.
We enjoyed the ambiance, it really set the mood for the rest of the night.
We of course got Mac and Cheese all around! What a meal!
On our way out one of the near by businesses was playing music so we stopped at the bumpy and danced for a little. (Note from Monica: Please notice Brooke's reindeer shirt she is wearing. She HAD to have it and will probably be wearing it in just about every picture you see of her until she grows out of it! She is obsessed with it!)
On the way home we swung by the mail box and grabbed the mail, a favorite of Brookes.
And it must have been a pretty good date cause I got a kiss on the doorstep! What a date!
Then I changed Brookes diaper and put her to bed... :)
Brooke always want's to go see baby Lyla at church. When the Ruckers got to church I took her up to see her. Brooke just stood there silently staring at her for quite some time. Eventually she wanted to sit down next to Lyla. She even held her hand for the picture!
Church was good this week. In gospel principles we had a lesson on the post mortal world, or spirit world. It was a great lesson with lots of discussion. I am so grateful to know of life after death. I am grateful that we can live with our families again forever, and I am grateful that all will have the opportunity to receive the gospel whether in this life or the next. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
