i know! I am SHARING THE WONDER TODAY!


Handwriting printables?
HELLO!
does your preschooler need to learn to write their name?
or practice lettering? the best SITE EVER! custom lettering printables.
it's called the AMAZING Handwriting worksheet maker! WHOOHOO

- 1st school website tracing pages for lettering.

Dltk.kids-loads of printables -crafts, chore charts, cards, worksheets, games, etc.

- Kidzone -printables, tracing pages, fun facts, worksheets.

wonder why i am sharing these links? because i spent all morning. needing some. for this child!

Hope needs something to do. due to lack of funds , she doesn't have preschool this year and SHE has been bugging me non- stop to watch TV or play computer. i generally let her have free reign but today she is a whiny MESS! and is pushing me over the edge of my tolerance. so she has to do a worksheet of writing her name before she can play computer. she took her time. traced one with me, one on her own, and colored the rest. and wandered off to play. hallelujah! the whining is over.

Lately, Hope is making me crazy! i think it's a stage. but holy CRAP! she won't get dressed ever! if she is dressed she strips and hangs out in her panties as soon as we are home. every outfit is not what she wants. she wants a dress. she wants a mini skirt. everything is itchy. she just wants to do her own thing. which is be undressed and she only wants to stay home and watch TV. She keeps refusing to go to lunches or play dates. i can usually leave her with Lance if she doesn't want to go and she watches TV or plays computer and doesn't need much help.

The other day though, she pitched a FIT about missing wow wow wubzy(the second stupidest show ever! next to Oobi) but all of us were going to lunch, so she had to come! she screamed for 30 minutes, i was LIVID! After that fit, i quickly realized Hope is addicted to Noggin and she started losing privileges so she'll figure out, she can't have fits every time she doesn't get what she wants.

**here's something Random**

while looking for images or video for those (above mentioned) stupidest shows ever, i was on Noggin.com watching Jacks big music show and found this.


do you recognize the guy singing?

i was watching it
and about 25 seconds in he starts talking instead of singing,
and i recognized him.

it's ( a bald & singing) STEVE!
from Blues clues! NO LIE!

the above is a Dorky video.

but he's not bad here.

and i personally LOVE the Dirty Sock funtime band
(the my space page has a music player! yay!) My fave song is DinoSoaring . as seen on Jacks big music show.

'Now we ALL dance!'

~onto another topic entirely~

Halloween? yeah my mom always told my sister Maria and I that we weren't allowed to talk about Halloween until AFTER school started! well school started and I'm thinking about it. and obviously talking about it. and blogging too. and buying stuff, and planning and
since people wanted to know what we were doing for Halloween for the boys?

HERE you GO!

Peyton the reader-

is going to be Harry Potter!

(thanks to my fab sister who is letting me borrow her uber fab (sewn for her child last year) Harry Potter cape? ROBE and tie. all we need are a white dress shirt, and black dress pants. EASY! and way better than paying the $44.98 i saw on a costume website because I, of course, wanted the deluxe version!

Peyton is Currently enjoying Harry Potter #5. even though the stinking library at school wouldn't let him check it out. GAY! if the kid just checked out and read #4 you let him check out and read #5. why hinder the excitement? we borrowed this one, and i have the next 2. it still peeves me! it's because it's a 7.2 on the accelerated reader thing and he hasn't been tested this year yet. SO they are limiting him? let him read it and test who cares! Sheesh!

(last year Peyton was an Elf Hunter, sporting a Legolas costume because last year he read the Hobbit, that and his continuous oh so nerdy,i mean , exciting addiction to Lord of the Rings online)

Paxton with the curly hair. is going to be.... Nick Jonas.

if we grow Paxton's hair out?

color it dark brown for Halloween?

scrunch it? i think EASY costume.

here are a few wardrobe costume options

button up shirt and tie? Vest? rugby and t-shirt?

layered polo and skinny jeans? Sneakers?

Oh and Pierce the one without an opinion yet?

is going to be ADORABLE.... in a little Asian suit.

it's gold and creme and cost me a couple bucks at Savers .

i should get one of these hats to go with it! how cute would that be? Flipping CUTE! (and yes i realize this isn't totally politically correct but you know coming here i am not all that P.C.) it's still a freaking cute costume idea.

SO that is where I'm at.

random and semi scattered today.
