Widdman's First Annual Halloween Party

Still catching up with the Holidays.... 

First off Halloween.

Halloween came early for us this year, instead of celebrating on the 31st we got to be involved in the Widdman's First Annual Halloween Party. As Halloween is one of my favorite holidays I was willing to drive the 4+ hrs straight from volunteering to help get ready. It was a late night... Amy and Heather had done most of the work before I got there, but we had fun making bows and organizing all the little details for party favors and prizes. 

The party was filled with all the Halloween classics. 

Bobbing for apples.

Bones Scavenger Hunt.

Face Painting.

Fortune Telling (by Grandma Russ)

Craftes.

Lots of Food.

Photo Booth.

And The Scariest Hunted House EVER!!!

The Haunted House was no joke that coolest thing ever!!!! Lets just say kids were bragging about being so scared they peed their paints. 

Adam and I were a scene in the Haunted House. This is us staring into the strobe light to get a picture. 

After the party Adam, Blake and I carved pumpkins.

 Adam got really good at the carving thing...

I am so glad we were able to go home for a little Halloween fun, because on October 31st Blake and I went for a run and pretended not to hear the door knocks as we did homework... we were so lame for forgetting to buy candy. 

When parents come to town

This month Blake and I got really lucky and both sets of parents come down to see us. Blake parents came the first week of October. But because we neglected to bring a camera there was not pictures taken. But we had a good time showing George and Liz around Miami. Taking them to see FIU, our apartment, and to our new favorite Honduras restaurant (sometimes Blake craves baleadas). We ended the weekend with Ice Cream and General Conference, what could have been better?

Then the 3rd weekend in October my parents and brother Adam came down to visit us. They wanted to see the beach and go to the zoo. And after waking up to an overcast day we thought it would be best to start at the Zoo in hopes of the weather getting warmer. This time we did take a few pictures, thanks to my mom being prepared with a working camera. It turned out to be a perfect day to go to the Zoo all the animals were out and about.

We almost left before getting to the best part. Little did we know but Adam had done his research and knew that there was something special about the Miami Zoo. And that was you get to feed the giraffes. 

 

 Dad did not like it very much..

The boys got a little carried away with the whole thing. 

 

After the Zoo we headed to the beach for lunch. Even though it was still overcast it was beautiful.

The rest of the weekend was filled with singing and dancing to Kaoma back at our apartment. My dad insisted to eat corn pudding, fried cheese and dulce de leche with bananas for dinner. So lets just say I felt like we had spent the evening in Brasil.

It is always fun when family comes to visit. 

Where our nomadic life ends

Well, just a little up date from our last post. No, we did not move into the super cheep, brand new apt. we were waiting for. They told us it would not be finished till November... we could not wait till then. Not to mention the cute little white house was all rented out to tourist for October, so we were getting kicked out anyway. But we found a place that is Bigger and Better, and we have the rent to prove it. We are only minutes from Blake's school and a block from the Church. What more could we ask for? Not even a fever, stuffy nose, headache or pile of homework could ruin MOVE IN DAY for me. After living here for 3 weeks we even got internet up and running 4 days ago, so it is really starting to feel like home. 

 Internet + Rainy Weekend = Update Blog.
