Halloween is comin', life in a box and I made homemade Playdoh!

Pre Halloween festivities at Weekday's school parade.


Look Mom, I made it: Homemade Playdoh!


There is a lot you can do in a box!

I've had these homemade Playdoh instructions since pre pre K, or the TWOS. But, YES, we got all the ingredients, flour, color dye, salt, Cream Or Tartar and we made pink and yellow playdoh! You can even eat it.

Daddy: I was intimidated, buying ingrediants such salt and Cream Of Tartar, but, with Emma's help, I was able to make homemade Playdoh, which is soft and edible.

Big Girl Bed

My dad and I picked out the bed on the internet-(US Mattress had the best price but my dad had to set it up). It arrived 26 days later. I picked out the heart sheets at Bed Bath and Beyond. I love being out of my low to the ground toddler bed, up in the air, now, where I belong, stretching my feet out with all the extra room! Hooray! HOOORAY!!!


Share the Joy, even baby sister Madeleine was estatic with the furniture's arrival. Dad: Emma counted out the days on a calender until the bed arrived. On the Wednesday the bed was due she ran into the bedroom at 7 AM and said, "Daddy, zero more days until the bed arrives." My greatest fear was the day of it's arrival. The shipping firm warned me they would just drop the bed unassembled on the curbside and it weighed 160 pounds.
Woa, how would the bed get up the four steps, through the double doors, into our third floor apartment. I'd need an Angel!
Emma's desire was so strong that an angel appeared: Angel, the super. He actually answered his phone and came over to help assemble the bed (I guess now he'll get his wings.). It takes up half her room but I don't think I've ever scene anyone so happy. The big girl bed is set up! HOORAY!
