Costume shopping and Trevor

We love Halloween around here, not the gory scary stuff but the kid friendly, pumpkin patch, trick or treat kind. Trevor and his friends get into it still, they all volunteer at local community events. CJ and I took the girls to the Di$ney store at a mall up north today so they could pick out their costumes. This will be Linzhi's first Halloween! She is so excited and just loves her pink pumpkin bucket. After we left the mall, CJ called his mom to let her know we were in the area, we stopped so the girls could show them their costumes. Normally, we don't see this Grandpa and Grandma on Halloween so it was fun for the girls to get dressed up for them. Trevor had plans with friends to go to the movies so we had to make it a quick visit but I got some cute pictures.

This weekend has been very nice and quiet. CJ replaced the console on my treadmill so I'm back in business. CJ and I have been walking 3-4 nights a week since June which I absolutely LOVE because we get uninterrupted time to just talk. Some nights I could tell the last thing CJ wanted to do was go for a 2 mile walk with me but he never turned me down. =) Now with my treadmill up and running again, he told me he would watch TV with me in our room as I worked out...LOL... That's my man!! =)

Trevor has been working been doing telephone sales calls for my uncle since May. Unfortunately, his company outsourced to a marketing firm so there's no work for Trevor. This is the first time in 3.5 years that Trevor has not had a job. He had a paper route that he happily gave up for this job with my uncle. He'll be 16 in January so he has to wait until then before he can apply at Barnes and Nobles (he's wanted to work there since he was little. He's a book worm). He told me he was worried about buying Christmas presents for his siblings (he has 4 total). This kid is so generous with gift giving that I had to tell him this year will be slim. I could help him out but he would have to earn some of the money by doing chores again. I wish I could have snapped a picture of his face...LOL... Trevor had chores until he got his paper route, With the amount of homework along with the route, we cut his chores other than taking the garbage out and keeping his room tidy....Now it's going to change. Should be interesting! =) I love his generous heart, he truly loves to see the joy on the kids faces when they open their gifts. I told him they would love him no matter what and to not worry about gifts so much. He's so afraid of letting them down, he takes pride in being the big brother. Bless his heart!

Anyway, it's terribly late (I'm a night owl), I hope everyone is having a great weekend!



Isn't he adorable! (got him again)!
