Last weekend was family week, and my mom got to come visit me. When she walked up to my building, she was carrying a pumpkin with her. She carried this pumpkin from our garden all the way to Chicago... it is know sitting happily on my window sill. 
When she was here, we stayed up in Evanston to get away from campus for a bit. We enjoyed running together on new paths, eating really good food, getting Pete's coffee in the morning etc... We had to do all my winter shopping, starting from scratch. I got a pair of snow boots (like hiking boots), gloves, earmuffs (so funny looking!), warm socks, another pair of warm shoes, and a coat that goes to my knees! It has a funny fur thing on the hood... we'll see how long that lasts :) We also made a trip to Target and stocked up on fun Halloween decorations for the dorm. We got some really yummy apples and veggies from Whole Foods to make. Though this week was really stressful with exams and papers, last weekend definitely made it seem a lot better. And after next week, we have a 4 day weekend!!
