Siege Of The Skeletons

Beware the siege this October at The Health Museum! This is the first annual Siege of the Skeletons, a community art project featuring papier-mâché skeletons submitted by teams all over Houston.

They will be on display throughout the month of October, so hopefully you get a chance to see them. If you visit the Museum before October 22 you can vote for your favorite skeleton. Viewing the skeletons is included with the purchase of a general admission ticket.

The kiddo and I went to take a look at all the skeleton-ness this Saturday, and we had a blast. They're all very creative, and each had a different message to send. I couldn't make my mind up on which one to vote for so I voted for two.

Time: Tuesday – Saturday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Sunday, 12 – 5 p.m.

The Chronicles of Narnia x Sugar Land

The Houston Museum of Natural Science presents The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition, on view October 3, 2009 - January 18, 2010 at the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land.

I can't believe this! When this story was read to me in elementary I was completely blown away. My love for fantasy literture started at that moment. For years after I pretended my entire yard was the land of Narnia. My little sister didn't quite get it, but she played along, and support my reign in our Narnia.

So I'm thrilled to take my daughter to this exhibition, I'll have to fit this somewhere in our calendar, but there's no question about, I need to make room for it, we're going to Sugar Land!

WonderWIld Monster Bash

Wonderwild, Houston's first arts-themed party playground for kids is hosting two Halloween parties. On Friday, October 30, there will be live bands, a children's costume parade, art activities, musical performances and more. On Saturday, October 31, there's a little monsters' disco featuring DJ Spooky Pants. Adult enter free, kids are $13 to $15 (depending on age). Tickets MUST be purchased before the event; NO tickets will be sold at the door.

This place sounds amazing! Houston is long overdue for a cool modern artsy venue other than the Children's Museum, and the best part in my opinion is it's located minutes from the Heights. Can't wait to see how this place is going to look. We got our tickets!

Clifford photo opportunity

I've been to two events with costume characters, and let me tell you, the kids go bananas, they absolutely love it. The pictures are priceless.

Time: October 9, 2009 6:00 pm

Chick-fil-A free chicken sandwich

Dewberry Farm

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.

This place seems to have everything possible to kick start fall, seriously. Just to name a few there's a:
Corn maze
Pumpkin patch
pig races
petting zoo

In addition, I'm pretty siked about capturing some classic photos to send to family and friends. I don't want to count my chickens, but I think we're in for a hog-killin' time.

Admission: $11.00 (2-under FREE)
