How to make the rockin’est cake ever
Making the rockin’est cake ever (with a 5 year old)… Begin with 3-4 apples. We chose beauties from the apple festival. Admire them. Shine them. Take a few pictures. Brutally peel and chop 4 cups….
Self-Awareness to develop Speech
Sometimes all you need to help a child’s speech sounds is a little self-awareness. Turn up your volume and listen carefully to my THREE year old tell you how we make different sounds in English….

I Speak For The Trees
I figured I should proselytize my eco-green-crunchy-granola-NorthWest ways to the rest of the world… I haven’t used paper towels in my home for almost eight years. And napkins? Same thing. (Okay, except for the kids…

Donut on a string??? Now THAT sounds like a kind of fun I’ve never experienced. I’m going to be sure to include that in one of my next party activities 🙂 That is one CUTE picture.
Ooooh, I love that game! I’m terrible at it too, but it IS fun trying!!
I love the pic!!
A fabulous capture! I’ve never heard of that game but it looks so tasty!
Mmmm! Doughnuts! hehe! Great post.
I love your photos! How did you catch her in the moment like that?
And I’m sure her power will manifest. Let that serious growth spurt hit..;)
I had totally forgot about the donut on the string thing.. Havent done that since like 6th grade.. what fun… Great shot also.
haha… that is an awesome picture!
Too funny! I remember that game as well 🙂
Cute! If that were my son you would have got a shot of dangling string, powdered doughnuts are not safe around him.
That looks like a fun game! 🙂
That is the funniest photo ever! You can just see how hard she is trying!
Oh what fun!!! It has been a long time since I was at a Halloween Party that had this game!!
You captured such a great momeny…..cool pic!

I didn’t recognize her in the chicken outfit — nice alter ego. No one will suspect a thing.
Ooooo — that is my kind of game!!!
Cute picture. 🙂

I love it 🙂
I have never seen a donut on a string game. How fun!
Great pic!
That is the cutest shot…..and I am so adding that to my list of games for a party!
*ROFL* That’s hilarious! I’ve never heard of that game but it sounds a whole lot sweeter than bobbing for apples. 😉
Practice makes perfect!! 😉
HAHAHAHA!!
hahaha!!!!
Great shot!
Soooo much better than bobbing for apples!
Great action shot!
We played that at a playgroup party once. It was hilarious. Then a pair of twin boys decided they’d get those doughnuts after all – they got on either side of a doughnut and between them they managed to eat it all.
Oh I agree, better than bobbing for apples! My kids love this game. I love that you were able to grab a picture of her while doing this! 🙂
What a fun idea! I’ll have to use that for our kids club at church sometime.
My son’s Kinder class did that for Halloween too. Adorable! 🙂
Fun game and all children enjoy it. 🙂 Excellent action shot!
That is so cute…and funny;)
ha ha – my son did this at his Halloween party and keeps telling me to buy some string so we can do this at home!!!!
great picture! You captured the moment so well!
That sounds fun! What a fun picture!
That is hilarious!
I want a donut.
Love the picture. My kids have played this game a few times and love it. You get really great pictures when you have two kids do it at the same time. They tend to use the other kids face to capture their donut!!
Lol! What a messy game. Do they use a new donut for each person?
Now that is one awesome shot for the archives!! Great one!
Looks like total fun too!
I like donuts.
That is such a great action shot!
I’d totally do that to get a donut 🙂
It’s perfect in black & white. And, thanks so much for putting the button up!
LOL, what a great shot! Looks like she had a great time :).
Omigosh, that is AWESOME…the game, and especially the moment captured!
Thank you so much for coming by my blog! Am adding yours to my regular reads!
Have a great week!
What a fun game! I’m sure the time will come when dangling doughnuts will be no match for her!
