After the girls finished filming their Tik-Tok dances, Rachael and Kyndal and Haydenn met me at the Braum's on Macarthur (aww, vivid 2011-2013 memories of Doris Drive), and I rode with them through the Gaillardia neighborhood across the street!
It was Haydenn's 13th birthday, so happy bday to her! She and Kyndal are entertaining together, and they dressed as "Soulja Boy," as his Crank That song from the early 2000s has become popular again on Tik-Tok. lolol. Seeing their costumes and watching them kinda trip while trying the dance between houses brought me lots of joy!!
Rough lighting on this pic... for me and Haydenn, at least. There were some people taking their golf cart through the neighborhood, and the lights were shining right on us, but that also made the shadows much more intense! #metaphorforlife
Rach wore her ghost poncho and black eye makeup and lipstick, and I wore my grad robe and Gryffindor scarf to be a Hogwarts student - yay, easy costumes!! ...Rach jokingly called me Harry Potter at one point, and I corrected that to Hermione (pronounced "her-my-knee"). Then Rach said, "Seriously, that's how you say it?? I always thought it was her-mee-own." Like, get all the way out. So yeah, she and her children clearly haven't even seen the movies and have zero business visiting the magic that is Harry Potter World! lol #muggles
Rach and I mostly stayed in the car and chatted and admired the bougie houses and caught up on life whilst the girls were in and out. It's a super fancy neighborhood, so naturally, several homes hand out full-size candy bars. Even the security guard at the neighborhood entrance had some candy for all of us! =) Also, Kyndal Faith got a haircut this week, and it's super cute!
Jace was at the CHA football game in Minco, but he begged Rach to trick-or-treat for him! lol She felt dumb going up to the door at the first house, so I jokingly suggested she just tell them her son is in the car with a foot injury, then Kyndal said "Do that after I've walked away! What if they ask to come see him!?" The thought of that and how Rach would react made me laugh a lot! For the record, she did not try that, but Kyndal got plenty of candy to share a bit with Jace. =)
We were there from around 7:00-9:15 and the girls canvassed most of the neighborhood. Kudos to Rach for her great sense of direction, even if her knowledge of Harry Potter is woefully inadequate. lol Gryffindors, ghosts, and a fun girls night at Gaillardia - that alliteration just writes itself!
Here's Karsten and Asher... their mismatched costume heads and Emily's caption made me laugh! The sibling rivalry is so real, and it starts early!! lol
Speaking of cute siblings, here's Parker Elizabeth as a presh unicorn, and Tate Haywood as a daring ninja (Jace's costume from yesteryear)!
Her randomly putting her hand up by her face to pose now after the photographer had her do that for her school pic = my very favorite thing! lol Gah, so much cuteness!!
That concludes my Halloween 2025 recap!
