My kids LOVE to dress up! Here are a couple new costumes they got! Jenna is REALLY getting into the whole dressing up thing. Tonight a friend and I went to Goodwill to pick up some stuff for a party we're having this weekend... did you know that Goodwill has a whole Halloween section - and a GOOD one at that!! The kids scored a few new costumes! :)
Jenna makes a cute cowgirl!! heehee! 
Bryce's preschool sends home a newsletter every week. They sometimes include poems, stories, etc. Here's an insert from this week's newsletter.... I thought it was a neat. :)
How to Really Love a Child
Be there. Say yes as often as possible. Let them bang on pots and pans. If they're crabby, put them in water. If they're unlovable, love yourself. Realize how important it is to be a child. Go to a movie theater in your pajamas. Read books out loud with joy. Invent pleasure together. Remember how really small they are. Giggle a lot. Surprise them. Say no when necessary. Teach feelings. Hear your own inner child. Learn about parenting. Hug trees together. Make loving safe. Bake a cake and eat it with no hands. Go find elephants and kiss them. Plan to build a rocket ship. Imagine yourself magic. Make lots of forts with blankets. Let your angel fly. Reveal your own dreams. Search out the positive. Keep the gleam in your eye. Mail letters to God. Encourage silly. Plant licorice in your garden. Open up. Stop yelling. Express your love. A lot. Speak kindly. Paint their tennis shoes. Handle with caring. Children are miraculous.
that was awesome! i think as parents we tend to just go, go, go and don't stop and enjoy our kids and just have fun with them! thanks for sharing that, i needed to hear that:)
