So, going to push the rewind button...NOW!
FRIDAY:
Met up with our Grandma Donna, Auntie Rae and the cousins to do a little Trunk-or Treating at church!
The kids look forward to this event every year! Yummy food, carnival games, costume parade, dancing {new this year and was a BIG hit, especially with Lola! Girlfriend shook her booty until the very end}, and then getting candy out of the trunks of cars/trucks!
Kyan wanted to play every game, while Lola played one or two! She was a LOT afraid of one particular costume that happened to be at every game we were at!
However, she managed to dance the night away and convinced her brother to eventually join her!
After dancing, the kids marched in the costume parade with the help of our favorite girl Alyssa!
And then it was candy time!
SATURDAY:
Spent the morning traveling to Kyan's baseball game approximately 40 minutes away from the house, then chillaxin' at home until Kyan did Friday all over again with his friend from school!! Lola spend the evening with Celeste, while Chad and I enjoyed a nice dinner out with friends!
SUNDAY:
Pumpkin carving time!!!! Here is how it works in our house; daddy cuts opening of the pumpkins, the kids and I gut the pumpkins and prep the seeds for baking, kids draw faces for daddy to cut while I get seeds ready to pop in the oven, daddy cuts the pumpkins! Everyone is happy and it all works out in the end, when we are popping freshly baked pumpkin seeds in our mouth!
MONDAY:
Go to school. Go to Target after school and pick up candy {I know, last minute right?!}. Come home. Eat dinner. Get on costumes, again. Trick-or-Treat around the neighborhood {that happened to be hoppin' this year more so than last year}!
Poor Lola's hair looks like a hot mess! She insisted on keeping her french braid that Mrs. Ashbey, one of her teachers, did for her earlier in the day! To be fair, it looked adorable from the back {you can kinda see in the picture below}, but by the end of the night, most of it came loose! Oh well, I still think she was the prettiest princess on the block! 
Kyan and Lola made it all around the neighborhood this year! Towards the end however, Lola needed a ride on daddy's shoulders in between stops! He also protected her at the scary houses! When she was walking and we came upon a house that looked a little spooky or had on scary music, she would push us forward and scream at us to go! I just kept laughing at her, but she really was terrified of some of the houses and had no problems vocalizing that to us!
When we got back home, we were greeted by our cutie pie neighbor kids, who helped pass out candy! This was the kids favorite part last year, and by the looks and sounds of it last night, it seemed like it was the highlight again last night!
My favorite picture of the night!
Love the relationship that they have.
Love them.
We were busy, but this Halloween weekend was a blast! Hope yours was too!
