Halloweenie

Gwen was a flower for Halloween. I was having a really hard time getting her to wear her costume. Every time I put it on she would pull off the hat and then tug at the outfit saying "off." So, a week before official Halloween, we had an activity at our church where the kids could wear their costumes, play games and trunk-or-treat from people's cars in the parking lot. I think when she saw the other kids in their costumes she became more cooperative, and theeeen, when people started putting candy in her bucket she was stoooooooked.

Then, on Halloween day, the shops in Seal Beach were giving out candy to trick-or-treators all afternoon. Some more good practice because we've been trying to teach Gwen to say "Trick or Treat" for like a month (but it was hard because at the time those words had no meaning for her).


Then, Halloween night turned into one of the highlights of her short life. It was us with 2 other couples without kids (so 6 adults and 1 child).

Here's the loot (now hidden from her greedy hands).
So, she figured out trick-or-treat and then on Sunday had a little meltdown because she wanted to go again. So she trick or treated our house a couple times and then we took her out for a walk in the wagon, during which she kept saying "trick or treat" randomly and getting sad because we weren't stopping anywhere.
