October

Wow. October was seriously the craziest month I've ever had. We sold our house, and had to pack up everything and move in with David's parents until our new house could get through the short sale process. Why they call it a short sale is beyond me, since it is the longest and most complicated way to sell a house. Probably because they're selling it short of the money owed on the loan. Good deal for us, but a long and frustrating process. We were supposed to be able to stay in our old house and rent it back from our friend who bought it from us. The short sale on our new house was just taking too long though, and she had found someone to rent her other house and needed to move in to ours. We had a week and a half to get out. On top of that, I had a major craft boutique I was sewing for the same weekend. 

Needless to say, we took a week vacation from school and just let Jeremy play and entertain Kelsey while we tackled the insanity. 

David took this extremely attractive shot of me in my pajamas sewing like a madwoman. That's pretty much what I looked like all month.

The kids had fun as we packed and they were so good and found ways to entertain themselves in the different stages of packing. Kelsey was a little traumatized to have her bed disappear one day though.

We had a lot of simple meals. LOL

In between packing and sewing we had soccer. Jeremy was excited to get to be the goalie, but the ball stayed down at the other end of the field, so he was disappointed. We told him he did a great job, and he looked at us like we were crazy and said, but the ball never came to me! Oh well, he looked cute.

Kelsey wanted to pick every single yellow dandelion on the field and put them in her hair. That's my girl!

We celebrated Daddy's birthday and Jeremy helped him blow out all the candles.

I was super excited to be there when one of my YW opened her mission call to Boise ID!! She's gonna be great!!

I was so relieved when the boutique was here and I could stop sewing.

There were lots of lookers and touchers, but not a lot of buyers. Oh well, I've got 2 more holiday boutiques coming up in December and my inventory is well stocked!

That weekend we finished moving into my in-laws house and spent the next week watching our newest niece while her parents went to Cancun. 

Jeremy was sweet and read to her.

Kelsey shared her dolly. It was fun, but I am certain now my baby days are behind me!! Babies are a lot of work!!

The Friday before Halloween, we went to our ward Halloween party. Kelsey had fun dancing on stage with her friends.

Jeremy was so excited to win a prize for his costume!

On Halloween we had Ghoulish Blood and Guts for dinner...

with Skeleton Bones...wahahaha...

and gave out candy to the trick-or-treaters.

It was super spooky fun!!

I hope your October was more fun than crazy!!
