With Halloween just days away, I thought it would be fun for the boys to conduct a couple of science experiments starring… GUMMY WORMS!

Last saturday my family and I organized a Halloween party for our kids and their cousins. Everyone pitched in by bringing festive food and activities for the children (and adults) to enjoy. Here’s a peek at some of the highlights:

Go Away, Big Green Monster!

I recently made a felt board for my bugs along with some fun felt monster pieces. During a trip to the public library, the boys and I picked up a copy of Ed Emberley’s, Go Away, Big Green Monster!

Carnival Party!

Our oldest bug recently turned 4, and when I asked M what he wanted to do for his party, he replied with an emphatic ‘bouncy house!’, so we decided to throw him a carnival themed party. We rented gym space at Cardel Place, complete with a HUGE bouncy house and gym equipment. When we first walked into the gym, M’s whole face lit up at the sight of the bouncy house; combine that with having his family and friends there to celebrate with him, and I knew instantly this was going to be a party he’d remember!
