I saw this pinata on my way home from work and thought it would be perfect for my daughter's halloween/birthday party. So I took my chances to stop and ask for the price. I was floored to hear that this oversized pumpkin was selling for $20.00. The eyes are crooked, but either way it's going to get smashed to pieces, so I could care less. I have to take a picture of this shop/house I stumbled upon because their other pinata themes are well made and reasonably priced as well. I may have found the spot to buy pinatas on the cheap that don't look cheap. I'll know for sure the day of the party after I see how it holds up. I'll follow up.
As of late, I've been searching the internetz for our favorite picture book characters. I stumbled upon Goodnight Moon props which are extremely cool to have while reading the book to your tot, we also brought pigeon home from Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, and of course we have Elmo, Curious George, and the regular characters. Just having the dolls next to us while reading livens our reading time to another level. My daughter enjoys holding on to them, and moving them from side to side as if they're the one who's doing the talking. 
This is the latest book to our growing book collection, and it's already one of my favorites. 
Thanks to a good friend of mine who's a zoo member, the munchkin and I are doing Zoo Boo for free this Sunday. I really need to jump on the zoo member bandwagon because I'm done paying $10.00 per visit. I'm really looking for to this, especially since the weather is suppose to be fall like, last time we hit up the zoo I got a tan on top of my tan, it was horrible hot. So I'm thrilled we finally get a chance to break out our winter/fall hats. I'm hoping for some amazing photos.

This Saturday the youngin' and I are heading out to Katy to visit Dewberry Farm. Since becoming a parent I decided I want to cram in as many fun/cool things to do during fall and especially in the month of October; simply because it's my favorite month,so Dewberry was added to the calender.
