Boo Baby!
Thank you Jenny for directing me in my hunt for this
awesome tool. I found it at Michaels for $4.99 on clearance!
It was the last one, so you know I am not the only crazy
pumpkin carver out there. Happy Carving!

Neon Madness
Gabrielles first middle school dance was on Friday. It was called "Neon Madness" the reason why Gabrielle is wearing some crazy color clothes in these pictures. Garon and I chaperoned the dance of course, don't want any monkey business going on. It was really fun, dark, and everyone was glowing! And wow, the music they play in middle school is nothing like elementary where the questionable words are replaced with more appropriate ones, songs like Pussycat Dolls "When I grow up" and Metro Station "Shake it", geez! She had a great time, and danced the afternoon away.

I found this great post on Simplemom.net, definately makes you think.
“When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments; tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become.” - Louis Pasteur
How would you feel if, when you first met someone new, they said to you, “Are you going to play shy?” or “Looks like someone’s in a bad mood.” What would you think if, when you needed a good boo-hoo, your friend said, “You’re fine. Don’t cry.” And if someone had an issue with you and they let you know about it in front of everyone in the room, how would that go down with you?
Grown-ups say the darnedest things to kids - things we’d never dare say to a fellow adult. And in the process it can create tremendous confusion between a little person’s genuine feelings and what they’re being told to feel. It’s a discombobulation that many of us carry far into adulthood as we fumble to “get in touch with our feelings.”
THIS WEEK: Be conscious of your power with kids. Whether you’re a Mama Bear or a distant big cousin, this basic approach is divine: don’t say anything to a child that you wouldn’t say to a grown-up you adored. When you were a kid, how sparkling, and “in,” and loved did you feel when a big person talked to you as though your feelings and opinions truly mattered?
Whether sad, mad, silly, or giggly, having your feelings respected fuels your shine - at every age.
