What do those three things have in common? Our weekend in a nutshell... Friday Ava had a Halloween parade and party at her daycare which her Daddy was able to attend, so that was fun. Friday night we did the whole trick-or-treat thing. Our cul de sac has a tradition of everyone meeting at the end with lawn chairs, bringing all our bowls of candy, and hanging out there for the night. Everyone in the neighborhood knows to just come on down to the smorgasboard at the end. One of our neighbors produces Krispy Kremes and hot cider for all guests and parents who come by, so that is fun. Before our kids run off to trick or treat, we also take an annual photo of everyone from our block. Ava had no idea what was going, then all the big kids took off down the street to go trick or treating and she really didn't get why she was all alone. So then I took her in her wagon and we went trick or treating. She kept saying "fast Mama. Big kids." She wanted to catch up with the big kids. Anyway, she was a huge hit as Jo Jo the Clown and we were surprised how many people knew who she was! She loved it.Saturday we had a moving sale to get rid of all the stuff we just don't use or want anymore. That went well, but was tiring. We took Ava to the park in the afternoon after running a few errands. We were pooped by nightfall!
Sunday was going to be a relaxing restful day (finally) except Jim had a Griswald moment around 8:30am. He was up in the attic laying down some fresh insulation per our inspection report's request, when he took a wrong step and put his leg right through our hallway ceiling. Ava and I weren't far away and heard some new words come out of Daddy's mouth shortly after he did it. Jim wasn't hurt at all, but spent the entire rest of the day cutting drywall, patching, and filling in the damage. Now he just needs to sand it and paint it. Ahhh, the joys of moving.
