So by now -- November 3 -- Tate has sifted and picked his way through his entire Halloween treat bag and managed to eat all of the little M&M bags.  Which means he is now left with 5 pounds of "other" types of candy.  For a no

Halloween '09 Recap

Halloween was a little different this year, a little more subdued and relaxed, but I think I like it that way! The biggest change this year was the fact that neither of the kids had a big Halloween parade or Songfest to participate in --

Hello, November! Here we go again...

I can't believe it's already November.  I can't believe the blog-a-day challenge is here again.  I also can't believe I went the entire month of October (and most of September) without blogging, so maybe this is just what I

I know what you are thinking.  Didn't she already do a Halloween recap?  The answer is no -- that was just an obsessively detailed description of the robot costume and preschool songfest.  The actual Halloween day and night is a wh

The story behind the robot costume

Okay, MUST finish blogging about Halloween-related activities before we get to Thanksgiving (a little over two weeks away -- yikes!).  Tate's preschool had a Halloween parade and songfest for all the kids and parents and grandparents, etc.&n

Okay, I have a lot of Halloween-related recapping to do, including Tate's Halloween Songfest at preschool and our weekend at Legoland's "Brick-or-Treat" extravaganza.  But for now, let me recap the actual Halloween night...Ever

(That's a pumpkin made entirely out of legos, at Legoland, in case you were wondering!)

Sign of a good time...

Well I'd say Halloween was a big hit with Tate this year.  It's 9:30 pm and we cannot get him to go to bed.  He keeps jumping out of bed to ask us, "Can I stay up all night for one minute?"

We had the best Halloween weekend EVER! And it was all because of the Pumpkin Party we went to at Tate's Gymboree on Friday night. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun and laughed so hard! Get ready, folks, 'cause there are a SLEW of pi
