Halloween came and went (both Dan and I's least favorite holiday). We dressed Bella as a ladybug and relaxed at home waiting for trick-or-treaters. We had about 25 of them- perfect for the amount of candy I bought. Later on we took Bella the ladybug on a walk and happened upon a Halloween block party that is a well-known tradition in St Louis- just one block from our house! All of the houses on the street decorate and the owners dress up and block off the entrance to the one way street. It was actually pretty fun- and Bella had her share of doggie treats and oohs and aahhs.

Dan has been studying quite a bit as Thanksgiving and finals are approaching, so I have been on a mission to finish the updates on our house. I have a friend from high school visiting this weekend (yay Jolene!), so with that in mind I painted and reorganized the guest bed/office and made a new bedding set for the daybed. For whatever reason it is really relaxing to sit in that room and I love how it turned out!
