Halloween, Rock On!

With all the excitement from the move we didn't have much time to prepare for Halloween. My mom had come into town earlier that day to help us unpack while my dad was out of town in Houston for the week. She got to experience the fun with Mitch and I that night out on the town with Addie Blaire. She was a Rockstar this year!! She actually told me at the last minute after I had tried for weeks to get the perfect costume (which was supposed to be the precious cupcake from Pottery Barn, but that's another story) anyways since she loves to sing all this songs and has several microphones we decided on a Rockstar. However, at the last minute that week she decided on a skunk!! I know I don't know what made her want to be one, we had looked on the internet and I told her to pick one and that is what she picked. I decided that was too much trouble so we had to get her pumped up for the rockstar which didn't take long when I told her she would have a guitar to play, she could sing, and the pink hair didn't hurt either! We started off the night at our new home with a few pictures..


She loved checking herself out in the costume, she just kept staring at herself and singing in the mirror.

First pictures in front of the new house, our first night to stay there was Halloween, kinda spooky for more than one reason!! (By the way the door is yet to be stained, we still have a few projects to finish.) Actually it was funny that night when we returned home late, we had about 15 trick or treaters show up at the house. It's funny because what you can't see in the picture is the bean bag, the boxes piled high, and the leftover carpet that we made into a walkway that are all right there. Some people have no limits when it comes to getting some candy!!

She was showing us how to play her guitar, she plays a pretty good air guitar!

Our first stop was our old neighborhood.

Little Brady was Elvis, how cute is he!! I am loving that hair too.

Payton, the Wonder Woman and my little rocker!!

We next went by Mitch's grandparents homes and we ran into Addie Blaire's cousins Lydia and Katie Ella. She had a great time trick or treating with them.

These two kept checking each other out. I think Katie Ella couldn't get enough of Addie's microphone and pink hair and Addie wanted a go at her cool clip on earrings!

Showing mommy all that candy was good!! Does it look like she was on a slight sugar high that night?

After that we went to our church's Trunk or Treat. Addie Blaire got lots more candy, and even got to jump in a bounce house!

Mrs. Kelly had such a cute display, all the trunks were decorated so cute!

Mitch finally started going with her to the trunks to step in because what he realized was that she didn't know what all this candy was and when she was given the choice she was choosing things like raisins because she recognized the box and was turning down the Snicker bars mom and dad were wanting!!

Ahhh, finally she got the good stuff!!

Me, Addie Blaire, my cousin Kristy and her precious little girl Emerie!

Moving Day!

We have been pretty busy the past week moving to our new house, but Addie Blaire found a little time for some fun in our old front yard. Since it has been raining so much lately it was the best time for Mitch to move us because all their work was stalled. Addie Blaire enjoyed her last days at the house by splashing around in all the water that had backed up on our street. It was almost waist deep on her!! She had a blast and Bobo joined her for a splish splash!

The second day the weather was much better and we had several different helpers which was nice. I really didn't think we had that much to move, but we are on day 7 and still have things to get from the old house. Luckily, Bobo bought our house so he is being so kind to allow us to take our time getting it all. Addie Blaire was very interested in this moving process, she kept wanting to help and then when we went into our old house, she saw her room and said "what happened to my room" she didn't really understand why the house was such a mess and where her bed went! She is getting adjusted to the new house though and is sleeping really well in her new room! I hope that she will be as happy there as she has been on Town Drive. All of our neighbors kept coming by and telling us how much they would miss us. It made me so sad to leave, after all that is the house that Mitch proposed to me in!!! One of the neighbors Mrs. Jackson even gave Addie Blaire a little angel from her collection that she said was to protect her in her new house. How sweet is that!! I told all the neighbors that we would leave Zoe if they were having withdraws from us, and it was a collective "NO!" I guess they would like to see their trash stay in the bags and the cats out of the trees! (actually Zoe may finally lose weight without anyone to feed her.)
