chirp chirp

Have you ever had an awkward pause in a conversation where you could
have sworn you heard crickets chirping? Now you can ACTUALLY hear
crickets chirping. Check this out. theCRICKETtoy™ is for any awkward pause.


Right now, some awkward situation is probably running through your mind. And if your family is anything like mine, the upcoming holidays should provide countless opportunities for this little green guy to interject a chirp or two.


theCRICKETtoy™ was created by my hubby (and I am so proud of him!). He has several awkward videos posted here and you can buy your own cricket on his website. Matter of fact, it would make the ideal stocking stuffer for the teen in your life. Everyone knows they are full of awkward moments…


P.S. I told him I would help him get the word out, so feel free to copy and paste this entry in your blog and ask your readers to buy a toy and put this entry in their blog. I want to see just how many blogs we can get this on! I think we've got the next “pet rock” so be a part of creating a cultural phenomenon (and help me pay my mortgage :) )!

Trick or Trot

My neighbor and I have been consumed with the Trick or Trot. We ambitiously took on starting a fun run fundraiser at our girls' elementary school. Since it's the first year for it, we had to get EVERYTHING figured out. It was a lot of work but a ton of fun too. The run was during the school day on halloween...and it turned out great!!! And although we don't have the money in hand yet, the pledges taken were over DOUBLE what our goal was!!!! We are so proud AND relieved! It was super fun - but we are glad it's over!

 

 

 

 

Halloween

We had a blast this year! We have started a tradition in our culdesac. We all throw our candy in a big pot in the middle and set up tables with TONS of food - chili, sandwiches, chips, and lots of desserts! The all just hang out and take shifts taking the kids trick or treating. We have SO much fun and the kids love running around like crazy (it runs a little of the sugar off)! Gisele looked beautiful and Cruella was hilarious! We also had a cat, witch, angels, tinkerbell, a ladybug and bumblebee, a ninja and a whole star wars family (including baby yoda!).
