One more Halloween Post

Last Saturday, the day after Halloween, our neighbors across the street had a costume party. They have 3 sweet girls, and the middle one, Kaitlyn, is a few months older than Nolan. The majority of the guests were classmates of the oldest, Lexi, who is 4. They had a ton of food, a fire going (with s'mores to be roasted), a pinata and lots of fun games. Nolan started off the night by running down the hill to see Daddy (the fire was at the bottom of their yard, a pretty steep hill) and once he started running, he couldn't stop and he totally bit it. He was grumpy for awhile until we showed him the popcorn machine. Then he was thrilled and ate a few pounds of popcorn in between s'mores and candy. But the kids ran around and chased each other all night. The pics didn't turn out great because it was dark and kind of dusty from the kids running around. Nolan also wanted to be like the big kids playing football and actually tackled them a couple times. Thankfully they were sweet to Nolan...let him tackled them, but didn't tackle him back, they were too big for that!
This was after we walked home, Nolan was trying to blow the candle in the pumpkin out. I think he'll get this birthday-candle-blowing-out thing this year! Yay!

Trick Or Treat

Friday night we headed over to Cheyna and Andrew's neighborhood so the kids could trick or treat together. They had a great time and were much braver than I expected! Abby kept saying, "I want to fill my bag all the way to the top." But after a while, both kids were pretty tired so we headed back to the home front, where they dug into their candy stash. Unfortunately there's still way too much left and it's taunting me daily!
Nolan, Abby & Olivia before costumes were put on. Olivia is really down with the gang signs.
Our family. Brian, Andrew and "Pappy" (Chey's dad), all dressed in jorts. Luckily it was Halloween, but all 3 of them enjoyed it way too much if you ask me.

Pumpkin Carving

Looking at the guts. Carving away:

Finished product:Nolan had no problem sticking his hands in and scooping out the insides!
