The Germinator's First Halloween

We think Evie might be the germinator because mommy and daddy were very sick with a stomach bug this weekend, and about 80% of the people we hung out with on Saturday also got it. I am blaming Evie as the original source of the bug because 2 teachers at her daycare also got it, so seems likely that she was the source of the ookie germs. Ironically, she has yet to be sick herself! ***This just in*** Nana and Grandpa who are wonderful and amazing, came and cared for Evie all day Sunday (starting at 4 a.m.) since mommy and daddy were so sick and now it appears that the germinator infected them too. I feel sooo terrible after they did us such a big favor by watching her for over 14 hours (and beginning at 4 a.m. too). We owe them super huge!

Evie enjoyed her first Halloween. We stayed at the house to hand out candy and play-doh and she was a very good helper--she taste-tested quite a few of the items to ensure that they were safe for the other kids (or us, since we obviously didn't pass out the mashed, chewed and sucked on wrapped candy to anyone). Grandma got to come over and be a part of this holiday since she will miss Evie's first Thanksgiving (we plan on visiting relatives in NC). I have some video of Evie helping herself to the candy/play-doh stash which is pretty funny.

We got Evie a cheap costume at Old Navy over the weekend so she was a cow-girl by day and lobster by night. Here are some pics--now that she rolls around everywhere and is almost wanting and able to crawl it is hard to get a good 'still' shot of her but thought these were cute anyway:

What'choo looking at? Never seen a cute lobster before? :)
