Kids are crazy. They do crazy things that are so completely dangerous it nearly gives the parents a heart attack. So I racked my brain a few months ago, thinking of how I could explain the ‘that could kill you!’ result to some actions. Sooo I came up with something. Maybe not the brightest. But my kid loves Disney movies. And I made a comparison to one movie to help her understand. So this morning, I hear my daughter yelling to the cat…

“Neo! Get out of the window or you’ll fall down and die like Bambi’s mom!”

Yeah. Maybe that wasn’t the best choice in how to describe death, but I think she gets it now.

So I’m making a costume for this Halloween party I’m going to. I’m going to be a nymph! (Thanks to Sasha White for the idea!) I’m getting all kinds of creative. Instead of just buying an autumn-ee floral wreath for my head, I decided to make one. Partly because they’re hard to find and the ones I did were darn expensive. So I thought I’d share a before picture, even though I don’t yet have the after. I bought the wrong size glue for my glue gun (I’m new at this!) So here it is…all the materials for my wreath. About $20 for everything you see in the pic.

So I was on Cafe Press making a Naughty and Spice tote bag the other day, when I got suckered into browsing ‘writer’ shirts. Anyway, I ending up buying two shirts to work out in at the gym. The one below is so much fun that I just had to share.

Anyway, hopefully we’ll be off to the pumpkin farm today. We’ll see! I hope everyone has a great weekend :)
