Spooky Weekend

The kids have been way excited about Halloween. They’ve been watching Halloween episodes of everything, although the Halloween Bubble Guppies has been the favorite.

Everything is spooooky to them, so naturally when Friday night came, we could hardly contain the excitement.

We went in our now old neighborhood, which is our current neighborhood as we are living with my parents, make sense? I didn’t think so.

It was super cold, but otherwise our most fun year yet! Since we drove over this time (we used to live right next to the action), we started on the opposite end of the street, I know this is just a thrilling story.

But really, it was a lot different this time. We saw quite a bit of this.

And got a good bit of loot. As a side note, what ever happened to saying “trick or treat?” We heard exactly noone else say it, and people looked at our kids weird when they said it, am I missing something? Is it not PC to say trick or treat anymore? What do you do, just walk up and hold out your bag. Why call it trick-or-treating if noone says trick or treat? Nick decided that we’re “bringing it back.” We’ll see about that.

They were very excited about their loot. Z took 15 minutes deciding which two he was going to have, and asked very important questions to aid in his decision making, such as “is this sour?” and “is this one more sour than that one?” Meanwhile Lu picked the pink Nerds out and started eating them immediately.

“Mmm, sour!”

 

It was super fun and we were all worn out by the end of the night.

We got up and went to the gym on Saturday (go us!), then went to Lowe’s to look at doors, exciting stuff, people. And, by the way, why do kids FREAK OUT at Lowe’s and all of a sudden become starving and tired of walking, and tired of sitting in the cart all at once? Can’t figure that one out, but rest assured, the rest of the weekend was spent looking for doors online… And trust me, if we have to go back for something, it won’t be when my parents are out of town!

We ordered pizza, watched football, and just soaked in the fact that we didn’t have to pack or unpack a single box the whole weekend.

Then on Sunday, we laid around a lot and enjoyed the beautiful day.

Then, we got out to buy Z some new shoes and hit up the grocery. Somebody needed a little help smiling.

So thankful for these sweet babies!
