This is Halloween, This is Halloween

Yesterday was my first Halloween.  If anyone had told me beforehand what Halloween was, I would never have believed them.  First, Mommy dragged me out of bed at 5:00 in the morning, took me downstairs for my morning... well, let's just say... wee wee, then put me in my carry purse so we could go to work.  As soon as we got there, she got me out of the car so I could walk to the door that scares me because I always think it's going to close on me.  We got inside to take the elevator (which I love), then got into Mommy's office and what did she do to me????  Put another dress on me.  She had tried this one on me before, but it was too big, so I thought I was in the clear.  Darn it I've now grown enough to wear it. Okay, I'll admit, I was pretty cute and the students who came by for candy thought I was cute too.  Mommy was really pretty in a sparkly dress, but then I lost her and she left me in the room with some other lady in the same sparkly dress but with really dark hair.  But then she came back, so everything was okay again.

We didn't stay at work all day.  I kept hearing Mommy say something about having to leave early because she had a lot to do.  We did stop at Wendy's on the way home though, but Mommy wouldn't let me have any of what she got.  It sure did smell good.  Sometimes, she's just so mean.

When we got home, she left me in the house while she ran in the house and out of the house and in the house and out of the house.  I can't count but I bet it was, like, a bazillion times.  Every time she went out she had something in her hand, but when she came back in she didn't have it any more.  I tried to watch from the door, but I'm too little and couldn't see much.  I don't know where the stuff she was taking out was going, it would just, disappear.  I'm glad she left me inside because I didn't want to disappear too.

Pretty soon I got really excited though because Taylor and Megan and Toby and Mysti came over.  When I saw Toby and Mysti I didn't feel so bad about being in my dress, because they had clothes on too!  I guess maybe we're supposed to wear stuff after all.  I don't know, still seems kinda weird.

After it got dark, everyone went outside, and I had to go into my carry crate because I wanted to play but Toby and Mysti didn't so I decided to take a nap.  When I woke up, everyone was coming in and there was Daddy!  I guess Mommy must have found him outside in all the stuff she took out.  Either way I was very happy to see him.  He sure surprised me - yay!   Then we all had to get our pictures taken.  Daddy took pictures of me, and me with Toby and Mysti, then me with Mommy.  Mommy was wearing something different than before but I thought it was pretty so I gave her lots of puppy kisses.  After that everyone went home and it rained really hard.  By that time I was really tired and was ready for bed.  It was a fun night, with lots of company and then lots of stuff in the house because after Mommy went to bed, Daddy brought back in all the stuff she took out earlier.  I don't know how he knew where it was, but he did.  I'm little and don't know much, but maybe she should have just left it all by the front door, then she wouldn't have had to work so hard to get rid of it and Daddy wouldn't have worked so hard to find it and bring it back in again.

And that, if you're wondering, is what Halloween is all about.  Mommy putting clothes on me (yuck), everyone telling me how cute I am, leaving work early, not getting any of Mommy's Wendy's, watching Mommy run around, lots of company, Daddy coming home, taking lots of pictures, and going to bed.  Yep, I think I liked it and wouldn't mind doing it again.  Did you know this happens every year?
