Happy Halloween!

For those of you who get grossed out easily, this is not a story for you.  First of all, on Wednesday I bought Lauren and William each a pumpkin bucket for Halloween.  Lauren's is the one pictured above.  Well, yesterday I had to work  so I missed out on what Lauren did with her pumpkin.  Lucky me!  Matt picked the kids up from my mom's house after work and brought them home.  Apparently he sat down on a chair in the front room not meaning to fall asleep, but he did....for 20 loooong minutes.  When he woke up, he went to search for the kids.  The back door was wide open so he thought they would be in the backyard.  (Our backyard it totally fenced in so no worries:)  On the back porch was Lauren's pumpkin and a whole bunch of wet toilet paper.   (The plot thickens.)  He asked Lauren what she had been doing and she replied, "I peed in my pumpkin!"  "What!  Did you pee here in the backyard?"  "No, I peed in my bedroom."  "What!"  So apparently, she had to go to the bathroom and she was playing in her bedroom.  So the genius daughter of mine decided that she would use her pumpkin as a toilet.  Then she didn't know what to do with it so she got a lot of toilet paper and took the pumpkin outside.  What a stinker!  Matt went into the bedroom and searched everywhere and didn't find any spilled so that was good.  Especially since there is a tiny hole in the bottom of the bucket.  He's so lucky!  Lauren's excuse was that she really wants a bathroom in her bedroom.  Nice excuse.  Well, too bad!  This incident reminded me of another time when Lauren did a similar thing.  We were at my brother and sister-in-law's house for Rob's birthday.  All of the kids were in the basement playing and all of a sudden we hear someone yelling, "Matt!  Matt!  Matt!"  Thank goodness they yelled his name and not mine.  He went downstairs and found that they had been playing house and had designated an area behind the food storage to be the 'bathroom'.  So Lauren took it to heart and got a bowl and pooped in it!  Disgusting!  Now you can see why I'm glad they called Matt's name.  So the lucky guy got to clean it up.  The funniest part about it is that we were at Kathy's house and if any of you know Kathy, well, you know she likes her house to be clean, very clean, bleach everything clean.  So I'm sure she just chucked the bowl.  And my daughter thinks she's a princess!  I don't think princesses do stuff like that.  So now that I've grossed you all out...HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!
