Today was Evie's first Halloween, so I took the day off from teaching. Hooray! I was so excited to rest...and then Evelynd woke up, ready to go, at 5 this morning. So tired! Luckily, a little after 7, I had Dassow Daddy take over and he got her to sleep for a little over an hour so I could nap. I got Evie dressed in the base for her costume and we went for a long walk wearing one of Dassow Mommy's old hats.
During her afternoon nap, I got set up for the trick-or-treaters and made some cookies (they're not pretty, but they taste good).

| There were ghosts lining the driveway up to our front porch. |

| Poor Samson. We lost his tough pirate costume, so he got stuck with whatever Petsmart had on clearance. He looks cute, though. |
 |
| We left the cauldron of candy out front while we took Ev to visit some neighbors. |
 |
| Our little Peppermint Candy was pretty mellow as we stopped at six friends' homes in the neighborhood, but by the time we got home, she was excited. |

| She liked petting Sam in his costume |
We finished the night with Evie's dinner of pumpkin (of course) and pea puree. Good first Halloween.
Happy 1st Halloween Evelynd! You are the cutest peppermint I've ever seen!
