Friday was Trick or Treat night! Woohoo! Both girls were very excited, both willing to dress up and allow me to do their make-up (you never know with these two!). I was a little slow at work so I left about 1, ran to Target, got home and did a quick pick up and tried to nap (I was dragging!). I picked up the girls about 4:45, they ate dinner and got ready to go to a neighbors house for a party!
Cutest black cats EVER!
We got to Sarah and Kyles about 5:45 to get the kids ready and 'posed' for a picture, this was about the best we could do, given the number of kids.....and in this picture, we have a run away cat and dog!
The mom's took the kids trick or treating and the dads stayed back, handed out candy and prepared food! :) Carver, Piper, Harry Potter and Tinkerbell (whose name was Piper too!)
After every house Piper would say 'let's do that again!' but then she was the first kid to quit. She said she was tired and wanted to go back. So I took her back to Steve and then went out for more with Presely, Boston and Samantha. Surprisingly we were only out an hour but we got back and ate, drank talked and then the kids bobbed for apples!
Collins and Harry Potter
Even Boston got one! Presley was SO close to trying but with us all watching she refused (like mother, like daughter).
We laughed that we had found Steve's twin....Zac. Too bad he is a Bears fan.
The kids were up until 11 and Saturday morning Homemakers called at 9:00 and woke us up. We had bought Presley a new bed and dresser and gave Piper hers, so we quickly got up, cleared the kids and rooms to get ready for them. I guess this is what we needed to get us up and moving! We got the rooms moved, set up, clothes moved into dressers and got ready for the day! Of course, we realized that neither kid had bedding for their bed so we made a quick stop at the JCPenney Home Store and Kohls to see if they had anything....nada. And this trip once again, confirmed why we don't take Piper shopping. She just thinks it's fun to run away from us, it's a game to her.
Piper had a birthday party at Outdoor Adventures, so the 3 of us girls went to that and Steve ran to Bed, Bath and Beyond and found bedding for both girls! We got home about the time the Iowa game started, so Piper had some quiet time (and actually slept for about an hour!) and we watched the game and hung out.
After the game we packed up and headed to Polk City to see our friends Lisa and Jared (and their sons Colton and Jett). We haven't seen them in way too long and they really don't live that far, but life is busy so we were happy that we could find a time to hang out, eat, talk and have the kids play!
Again we were out until 11 but the kids slept in until 9:30 (or 10:30 without the time change)! We had no plans for this Sunday and the weather was in the 70's! We spent ALOT of time out by the shed watching football and the girls played really good. Piper wanted quiet time again and again she actually fell asleep! So she napped, Presley played with Anika next door, I read by book outside and Steve watched football....perfect November afternoon!

Steve made shrimp tacos for dinner and our family friends, Susie and Jeff stopped by to drop off some shoes she wanted to give me, we hung out and talked for a bit. It was a very nice Sunday night! and now back to the grind and getting home when it's dark! :)
