October outings {wrap-up}

...got pushed around by a blustery October wind. Welcome back, archnemesis.
...utterly failed at making M&M cookies. Some recipes just shouldn't be lightened.
...started living in my heavy socks.
...went to Michigan for a birthday gathering and couldn't stop oogling the fall foliage!
...mourned our inevitable lack of trick-or-treaters.
...celebrated Cheese Month somewhat zealously.
...started getting the weekend newspaper delivered. Yea for "newspaper days!" 
...went for a long walk with my sister when she came and stayed with us. Nice.
...began peeling and segmenting the clementine before packing it in my lunch. Then, I'll actually eat it.
...played with family and friends.
