Just a few days ago, I mentioned how I have always enjoyed seeing the creativity and ingenuity of moms as they scramble to create just the “right” Halloween costume for their children. Well, I also enjoy watching my daughters as well each year, as they seek to come up with the very best home-designed costumes [...]

Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins (Hold up all 5 fingers)
Sitting on a gate
The first one said,
“Oh, my, it’s getting late!” (Point to wrist like checking the time)
The second one said,
“There are witches in the air!” (Point up and across, like pointing to the witches flying)
The third one said,
“But we don’t care!” (Shake head like saying [...]

I LOVE the month of October! The weather starts to change, the mornings are a little nippy and the air is brisk and clear here in Atlanta after months of smog and grey and white skies.

We have had such a marvelous time in ABC Music & Me the past 5 weeks!
We’ve visited the Carnival of Music, marched in parades, rode on wobbly wooden train rides, flew airplanes right off the ground, played games at the midway, and gone round and round on the Merry-go-round!

It started with my ABC Music & Me class that I teach in Buckhead at the Church of the Apostles. Thursday’s [...]
