2015 Halloween Guide

thHard to believe this is Chelsea’s 4th Halloween. Chelsea has already mentioned a few times that she wants to be a princess for Halloween this year. I know that she is going to enjoy trick or treating more this year than last as she is a bit older. This will be her 2nd year trick or treating. I felt that she was a bit too young to go trick or treating the previous years.

This-Is-Comment-For-You-

This year we will be starting a new tradition with our special pumpkin. Her name is Peppin Pumpkin. Chelsea is so excited to open her up and enjoy the message she has for her. I believe that this year she is old enough to make her first Jack o Lantern and really enjoy what happens during this time of year.

The Halloween Happenings

20150830_133150The Halloween Happening is a Halloween Tradition all about decoding a special message. After you give the pumpkin Character a name, he or she comes to life ad he or she watches over you to make sure you behave. Your pumpkin has a special message to give you that they will decide on. The plush toy will determine how long the message is as well as how many days they will come out before Halloween. Let’s say the pumpkin wants to say “Hello” she will come out 5 days before Halloween for some decoding fun.

PBS KIDS: CAILLOU: CAILLOU’S HALLOWEEN, PEG + CAT: A TOTALLY AWESOME HALLOWEEN, & WORDWORLD: HALLOWEEN FUN

pbshalloweenChelsea really enjoys watching these educational films from PBS KIDS. PBS Kids has always been a go to channel for shows when I was growing up and now that I have my little own she has been enjoying the shows that are available on there. Out of these three titles I believe that her favorite was Caillou. She really enjoys watching all of these and they are great to add to anyone’s collection of holiday favorites.

Halloween Treats: Fruit Snacks by Crispy Green!

unnamedChelsea and I are always on the lookout for healthy alternatives to the snacks that you see on a daily basis. We want to get away from all of those sweet snacks that are high in calories and high in everything that is not good for our bodies. These snacks from Crispy Greens are just what we were looking for. You don’t have to refrigerate them so they are perfect to stick in Chelsea’s diaper bag or my purse. Yesterday for example while we were shopping Chelsea kept saying she was hungry and was getting impatient. I really wish I would have remembered we had these delicious snacks at home.  These freeze dried fruit snacks are so delicious. I love that they come in many flavors.
