This week Gee Gee (Grandma Verna) came for a visit to enjoy Halloween with Gwennie. She also attempted potty training but about all we got was a kid that sits on the potty forever and then as soon as the diaper goes back on...she does her business! We'll tackle it again around Thanksgiving or Christmas.Gwennie also had a Halloween party at school and given the fact that she always comes back with something on her clothes, I figured we'd make a second costume that she could mess up as needed. This was a feeble attempt at Tinkerbell. Friday night Gwennie donned the Cookie Monster outfit again and headed out to Trick or Treat with Stella (Ladybug), Charlie (Curious George) and Matty (Pooh). They older kids figured out the deal right away. After the first house everyone but Matty had Tootsie Pops in their mouths. Gwennie decided taking the wrapper off wasn't worth it so she ate the whole thing....wrapper and all. Mommy attempted to pry the sucker away but her death grip wasn't going to have any of that!
While we were piling them in and out of the wagons, Corbin accidentally spilled his beer on Gwennie's costume (never hold a beer between your arms and lean over to pick up your kid) and needless to say she smelled of pale ale all night. We called her Cookie Monster on the skids which got some funny comments from the houses. Gwennie didn't seem to mind the smell and was on a crazy sugar high all night because as soon as we'd head toward a house she'd break out in the giggles as she ran up to the next house. It was a great night and it ended with Gee Gee being the last house where Gwennie passed out and slept until 8 on Saturday! All in all a great weekend!
