SLOW Children At Play

I love these signs. They crack up each and every time I see one. I am most definitely going to hell. As if it wasn't warning enough when my son was born with a crooked toe....I continue to laugh.

This weekend we went to the pumpkin patch. I was fortunate enough to have not one, but TWO sightings of the sign (attached).

There's this site called...you guessed it, Slow Children At Play. It's written by a guy named Stokie Jaye, who works in a group home for emotionally disturbed boys. His online journal of his day to day encounters with these kids. If you haven't checked it out already, do so. Read it all, from start to finish. If you have the same sense of humor as me, I guarantee you will enjoy it. I am always coming back to see if he's posted a new entry...
I really shouldn't be enjoying this, but the way he tells the story...you can't help but.

What to do for Khai's 1st?

Trying to figure out what to do for Khai's 1st birthday has driven me mad for the past month or more. I went back and forth between Dora and Elmo and Halloween and a million other themes. In the end I decided I'd do something Dora because he loves her so much. John felt it was too girlie and suggested Diego..from Go Diego Go (Dora's BOY cousin). Nah. I wrestled with the whole Dora thing for awhile and finally decided i'd go with a Halloween Dora theme. Perfect. Even better when I found the Halloween episode of Dora - Khai's all time favorite video. We watch it at least 6 times per day and John and I find ourselves singing the songs and saying the lines without realizing we are doing it.

Back to the party theme - I had such a hard time figuring out what to do for the invite until Trish put a great one together for me... but then I couldn't find anything for the decorations. I found more Halloween things than Dora - actually I found plenty of Dora things but nothing I liked... SO...now we are going with a Halloween theme... the decorations will stay up the rest of the month and most likely all the way thru Christmas knowing us....

Was it supposed to be this hard?
