I can’t believe October is finally here. This is my favorite time of the year. Hopefully the temperature will be cooling down soon and the leaves will start changing colors!. Also, Halloween is around the corner. I usually buy my kids’ costumes. What do you do? Do you make your own or just get it from the store? Let’s enjoy all the cool activities happening around the metro this month.
