You call yourself a professional? Professional what???? Anyone else care to fill in the blank...

I believe Becka is a professional ______________.

Banana Counter!

Awesome or frightening?

Lisa - I am glad the cruise is just around the corner. You have sounded very stressed out lately and it sound like you really, really need this vacation.

You don't know the half of it. I really need DH home right now.

You know, there are a lot of variables in that Halloween/posting element. Sure, people will be busy taking the kids around for ToT and handing out the candy corn and peeps to other kids. But every good poster should be posting photos of how adorable the kids/pumpkins/jackolanterns/haunted houses are. Then all the rest of the good posters will have to reply "Wow what a great Power Ranger/Bo Peep/Ghost/Cinderella!!!" to every single post. Really compounds the Halloween posts that way.

Good thinking Marielle!!! I will post all of the Party pics on Sunday!!!!

 

[klineyqueen]

Ah yes, but are there too many variables for Halloween ... loss of posting time, but increased sharing of photos??? How does Brandi's Halloween party affect things? What about Lisa's school carnival?

I will be unbearably busy but I will try to make up for it on Sunday!!!!

I guess I missed the fact that your DH was not home. I hope things turn around for you real soon. I know it can be difficult!

 

[klineyqueen]

I don't like this game. I don't think we should play.

Awww....come on...it sounds like great fun!

I see 's lurking....

My DS is such a guy already. When we were driving home this afternoon he told me that tomorrow I should not use the hair clip to put my hair up but that I should just leave it down. He likes it better that way. DH is always saying the same thing. What is it with guys and long hair? :

 

[becka]

I see banana people.....

 

[becka]

Is everyone out there lurking?

Yes, he called at 7:45 am Monday to tell me that he had to go to MD that afternoon for the week. If things didn't start hitting the fan it would be better. I tried calling him. He will be home Friday night but we wont be able to discuss anything until Saturday. I am praying that the kids don't get suspended tomorrow...that will only make it worse. Yesturday when they were fighting with my friend's DS they were on school grounds. A talk DS had today with the counselor about other things brought that "disagreement" up. I never thought that it could affect them all that way since it wasn't during school. I am praying that nothing else is done about it.

AAAARRRRRGGGGGG!

We went to a party this month that hung small powdered donuts from the door frame with string. They were spider eggs. The kids knelt down & ate them with their hands behind their back. It was pretty funny to watch. You have to cut a bit of the string each time because their mouth gets on it but the bigger kids go last.

I like it. My DH also likes it!!! We are going to steal this idea! Does anyone else have any great ones??? We have little kids (3 - 4) on up to (9 - 10) year olds.

Put towels on the floor to help collect the powder. They got hit with those things in the face...from each other's donuts. I'll upload a video of it to show you.

For YOU!!!

Yeah...for me....and other fun people!!!!

Mummy Wrap

Divide guests into pairs Give each pair a roll of toilet paper. One person wraps the other with the paper, first one to empty their roll wins. Older kids and adults get two rolls, once the first person is wrapped they wrap their partner. Prizes to the first team who empty both rolls.

Halloween Corners Game (Good for ages 3 - 8)

Stick up large Halloween themed pictures (ie witch, bat, ghost and black cat) in the four corners of a room. Play some music and when it stops, each child runs to a corner (if you have small numbers you can limit the number of children in each). The music operator without looking then calls out one corner. The kids in that corner are out. The last person left is the winner.

I honestly was thinking you were going to say...he had his hands in his pants! Then it was something sweet! He likes his pretty mommy!

I thought his hands/pants thing because my DS just started to do that...it REALLY annoys me!
