Halloween Happenings...

Halloween has come and gone once again. I'm glad it only comes once a year... it is fun, but it can be exhausting, too! Maybe I'm just getting old... :)

Last year we really struggled getting Evelyn used to her costume, but once she did, she had SO much fun visiting everyone and trick-or-treating in out neighborhood. This year it was just the opposite. She had fun in her "candy corn" outfit her grandma made her, but didn't have so much fun doing "the rounds". Overall it was a good day, tho!! She isn't smiling in many of the pics below.. but she DID smile today.. I promise! :)

First stop, daddy's office. She usually LOVES it there and runs around like crazy. This time all she wanted to do was "go home, mommy"! :( She just sat on daddy's lap and looked scared. Poor thing. Doug's co-workers love her and still gave her "treats"!

I then braved going to the hospital with her to visit Jody and my other old co-workers. She actually did pretty good and seemed to have fun, but was ready to go home when the time came! Here she is with Darcie, me and Jody.

"Mommy, take 'piker' evie and mommy?" I obliged! This was the ONLY one with both of us looking at the camera! :)

Later in the afternoon we stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Doug's house. She had been wanting to see them ALL day.. so was happy when we did. Then, they bought dinner for us. That was a real "treat"! Thanks, mom and Doug!!

When we got home, we wanted to take her trick-or-treating. Nope. She very politely said "no, home" every time we asked. So we stayed in and she played with the candy and had fun admiring other kids' costumes.

And hanging out with her daddy! (BTW.. the black socks are not part of the costume.. I put them on so she wouldn't slip on the wood floors with her tights!)

Another halloween over... many more to come. Again.. I'm glad it only comes once a year!!
