Happy Halloween
Posted by: Mom Chatter on: October 31, 2008
Happy Halloween! Here’s some of the Halloween crafts/gifts that we’ve done/gotten for Halloween. We got some beautiful “Mr. Potato Head” pumpkins (squashes) that we did at a playdate today, some salt dough figures (ghosts and pumpkin patch) that we did earlier this week, and even some crazy hair pumpkins that The Kids got from a [...]
The Sweetest Little Wall-Es
Posted by: Mom Chatter on: October 30, 2008
The Boy is dressing up as Wall-E this Halloween. We’re making his costume (I’ll have a picture up here tomorrow… still adding the finishing touches), but we did purchase Wall-E party masks to use for his eyes. Yesterday I was working on adding Wall-E’s treds… and while I did that I let The Kids each [...]
My 2 Year Old on the Elections…
Posted by: Mom Chatter on: October 29, 2008
I’ve never tried to do a sound file on my blog entries before, but I think I found a way for it to work. If I did get it to work, then here is a recording of The Girl telling me the candidates’ names (ok, so she’s repeating them after me) and who she is [...]
More on Pumpkins…

The Boy got to carve his own pumpkin today!! (You can too by visiting this site.) He was so happy and wants to do it again and again. I was happy to let him… seeing him get creative always brings on the smiles.

This afternoon while walking by the front door, I saw this… Umm… not sure where this praying mantis came from OR how it got in our house. Not really one of the normal bug visitors we sometimes get (ants, spiders, flies, etc.). The praying mantis was laying just inside the door by a box of [...]
Literal Kids
Posted by: Mom Chatter on: October 26, 2008
Tonight at dinner we got a call from an unknown number (I LOVE caller id). I made a comment to Mr. Wonderful stating that in the coming week or two the phone calls would go “through the roof” because of the upcoming elections. The Boy heard this and looked up at the ceiling and replied [...]

Today we carved our pumpkin. Our pumpkin was picked out a couple weeks ago during an apple picking excursion (they had a pumpkin patch, too). It’s been awhile since we last carved a pumpkin. Last time Mr. Wonderful and I did it, we had a kit (Mr. Wonderful bought it for me as a very [...]

Letting children explore their surroundings is always a wonderful activity. One that always brings me a couple smiles. It’s amazing what they are drawn to… curious about everything…

My kids play with their food. This does not always make me smile, but now after seeing this, I need to just remember to grin… they might become great food artists one day! It’s always good to find reasons to smile at things that usually drive you mad.
Pop Goes the Butterfly
Posted by: Mom Chatter on: October 21, 2008
I Stumbled across a site recently that showed how to create your own pop-ups. This sounded like a fun thing to do with the kids, so I printed out the butterfly and set it aside for another day. Today we finally put it all together… The kids colored, I glued, and we are all now [...]
