October Itinerary

Wow...this month has been busy and stressful but a nice mix of good and bad going on. Bad: we lost one of our horses and I had to go away for business. Good: We had a lot of really fun activities and some quality time before and after the epic trip.

Oct 3rd: We did a Home Depot craft
Oct 10th: Attended a 5k run and IBM appreciation day
Oct 11th: I left for 2 weeks on business to India and China.

Upon my return on the 23rd, we went to the pumpkin patch, decorated pumpkins, hit the fair on the 25th, did a Halloween party at IBM on October 30th and then our usual trick or treating extravaganza at Uncle Mikey's on the 31st. I'm tired just thinking about all that!

We went big on decorations at the Homestead this season too. I spent an entire Saturday putting up decorations...mostly to assay my guilt for leaving and also to ensure they had fun with the season. Jeff loves this holiday and we always really enjoy going all out.
















I brought back some great outfits from India and China for the boys to try and educate them on the life in the countries I was on. A friend in India sent me home with the most gorgeous outfits and I bought these Chinese silk ones at the Pearl Market in Beijing. Ethan actually wore one to a party in Michael's neighborhood on the 25th.
