Life adventures!

November 1st our renters decided they couldn't pay rent but said they would have it to us the following Friday and that they were going to be ending the lease and it would be our fault because our property management guy was stalking them or something. She is a nut!  Well the next Friday came and went and no rent was paid!  Then on Sunday I asked my neighbors if they had seen or heard anything from them and they had apparently  moved out!! Lovely!  So we had our realtor go and look and sure enough they left but the back door was broken so he was able to get in!   On Monday my sweet Friend Jen when by to check it out for me and they had had the electricity turned off but left the fridge full of food and they house a disaster! Makes me cry just thinking of this!  My home has was so disrespected and I am so far away and have no control!  But thankfully for Jen and Pam, who spent 3 days there cleaning and painting and fixing things to help me out! I owe them big time! And thanks to some of my other neighbors for helping fix other things! Now our house is on the market and we are stuck paying rent and a mortgage! Let's just say we are little stressed!
 I just wish our renters would have just worked with us instead of screwing us over! We offered and offered because we knew they were having marital problems but instead they have chosen the hard route and will now hopefully be punished for acting so stupid! They have been evicted and now we are waiting for collections!   
But please pray that our house sales because I am not handling all this stress very well! I have to keep telling my self that "this to will pass!"

Halloween!

We carved/ painted pumpkins with our best friends! What a fun messy memory making time! Ronnee kept telling Albert that his is the best and that daddy is the Loser!  Wish we were all as cool as Albert in Ronnee's eyes!

Ronnee wore her costume for weeks before and is still wearing it. She was a girl riding a unicorn! No shocker there! And Cutler was a Bronco! Simple and easy since he has jammies that look like a bronco!   Ronnee loved it this year and wanted to fill her bag to the top. Cutler was happy as can be to just sit in the stroller and watch her go to the door!  We went with our neighbors from across the street. The girls had a fun time running! So nice to have a friend to run with Ronnee while Cutler and Lavinia enjoyed the warm ride in the stroller!!

 

We ended the night with a dance party! We were getting good at dancing Michal Jackson on the Kinect!

Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids to a fun little pumpkin patch outside of town and had a blast!  There were tons of fun little activities to keep them busy and help us enjoy the wonderful fall weather!

 

At some point around this time we made another trip to SJ to watch Uncle Sam play football against Holbrook!  And I actually took some pictures!

 

House Shinanagans!

We decided we are going to sell our house when the lease is up with our renters! So I called the property management guy and he said our renters were actually thinking of breaking the lease because of marital problems and neither could afford rent without the other. So we suggested that they let us help them by selling it now and when it sales they can leave free and clear and we can be out free and clear. So we got a realtor and started that process well then they called a couple days later and said they were going to work it out.  So interesting. So we still decided to proceed with getting everything ready to put the house on the market and so we would be ready to go! No way we will be able to pay our mortgage and our rent at the same time. So we are hoping to put it on the market in November/December and hope it is gone by the end of January! Wishful thinking but hope we get our wish!   I am so over dealing with renters and all this drama!

Oh a cuter note, I tried to get some pics of my two little love bugs together! The camera was being silly and the kids were being kids, but aren't they so cute!
