Sat-ur-day is a Special Day

Saturday came and went WAY TOO FAST!  We had such a busy day until the fun began.  We're expected to get hit with a lot of snow, so we had some winterizing to do outside.  Last night the weather was bitter cold and windy.  As a result we had leaves everywhere!  We raked and cleaned up outside until about one.  Then we headed to a neighbor's house to help with wood.  Out here in Maine a lot of people use wood to heat their homes, especially with how expensive heating oil is.  (Right now it's $3.39/gal and usually 100 gallons last about 1 month in the winter...do the math!!!!)  Needless to say, there's a lot of wood service projects which require stacking, splitting, moving, etc.  Jaycee and I just did little pieces and stacked while Craig did the heavy pieces.  Jaycee was such a good helper!  By the time we got home, cleaned up and a quick nap...it was time....TRUNK-OR-TREAT!!!!  The branch did have games & activities for 1 1/2 hour before the dinner for all the kids, but we didn't make it because Jaycee fell asleep.  We did enjoy the potluck finger food dinner & trick-or-treating.  Jaycee was so excited to wear her fairy costume...especially her wings...and quickly understood that she's getting lots of candy.  It was so fun to actually take my own child trick or treating and to see how excited she was.  She was such a good listener and didn't eat any candy until the end when she asked for a piece.  We really lucked out on such a good daughter.
