Trick Or Treat

This Halloween was a bit hectic for this little family.  We moved on Tuesday night with the help of our new Ward, thank goodness.  I felt bad asking our old Ward to help us considering they helped us move our extremely heavy furniture not five months ago.  We got all of our stuff to the new place which was great considering most of the small stuff was already there- we moved slowly since it was just across a very small town.  The people who came to help cracked me up though, apparently they don't move often.  They were carrying big stuff like our dressed with the drawers in.  Are you nuts?  Did I mention most of these men were in their 40's or 50'S.  I was waiting for someone to have a heart attack, I am not saying they are out of shape but really they were lifting really heavy stuff.  
On Wednesday my dear sweet mother helped me clean our old place.  I really need to pay my debt to her for helping me clean two apartments from top to bottom in the last 5 months.  This apartment wasn't hard to clean though because we had only lived there a short time.  We got done cleaning and locked everything up for the new tenants just in time to get a little of the house put away before Travis came home from work.  
Trick-or-treating these days is kind of a joke.  When we were kids do you not remember running from house to house actually working for your candy?  Now with all of this trunk-or-treating kids get all the candy they need with one spin around the parking lot.  Oh how times have changed.  We got the kids ready and headed out to a few houses.  Jaylee was a great little kitten.  She did amazing, it was our little dragon that was difficult.  Sawyer didn't want to wear his costume at first, even though he loved wearing it around the house prior to Halloween.  To make matters worse, the first house we went to Sawyer tripped on the stairs and split his lip.  Poor thing.  It kind of put a damper on things for him.  Halloween is just not his holiday, last year hand-foot-mouth disease and this year a split lip.  Maybe next year will be better for him.

Jaylee really is the cutest kitten! I love that picture! So sad for Sawyer though. Nothing worse then them getting hurt while you're trying to let them have fun.
