_my blog_: October/Halloween

I love fall in Chino Hills. It's cold enough to wear boots and sweaters, but you don't have to scrape ice off your windshield in seventeen degree weather every morning (which is what I will be doing in a few months). October was full of sewing, spending time with family, the Pumpkin Festival, and of course Halloween. Oh and I ate a ridiculous amount of sugar every day. We even made a rule that we're not going to bring in sugary snacks to work this month because we were eating ourselves sick. My boss bought a bag of Chips Ahoy cookies and the entire bag was gone within one hour.

I am so proud of my mom for getting through October and yet again managing a successful Pumpkin Festival. Over 50,000 people came and my mom was pretty much in charge of everything. I don't know how she did it and still had energy at the end of the day. I'm so blessed to have such a hardworking example in my life.

I took Eli trick or treating for the first time, and he loved it! Well, actually he was slightly confused by the whole thing. He kept reaching out and wanting more candy and because he's quite convincing he always got a second piece. Trent and I decided that we wanted him to be Dr. Peterson for Halloween, so I made him tiny scrubs and a tiny white coat. He wore the costume for about twenty minutes before there was chocolate all over it.

Here are some pictures from October!
