"Chase-isms"....a 4-year-old's world

My 4-year old Chase can talk anyone's ear off, just ask our friends, neighbors, the UPS man and the 911 operator (that's a whole other story). It's not just how much he talks, it is the things that come out of his mouth that make him so hilarious! I thought I'd share a few of what we lovingly call "Chaseisms"..............

Whenever he tells a joke (which only make sense if you are 4 too) he asks, "Did I make you laugh all the way to Africa?"

Today in the car when one of the 6th graders in our carpool asked him when he had made the picture on his shirt, he replied "Oh, just about fifteen hundred years ago."

If he gets hurt instead of a kiss he claims , "A cookie will make it feel better"

If he really wants something he tells you that it will make his heart soooo full of happiness if you give it to him but if you don't his heart will be so sad.

He has officially re-named his little brother "Cooper the Pooper Spitter-Upper"

He asked my mom once (the Nana) why she was short like ET

He thinks his phone number is 2 and tells people to call him all the time.

Once when he...uh...how do I say it politely, passed gas, he said, "I burped out my butt".

Even more potty humor (can you imagine if he reads this one day when he is a teenager) once he was grunting and groaning on the potty and all of a sudden he moans out "E......T.........phone........ home....." my husband and I were actually crying we were laughing so hard!

Hope you got a chuckle out! Have a great day

Make Your Own Marshmallow Shooters


These marshmallow shooters are simple, quick, inexpensive and best of all......not messy to make! They will guaranty hours of family fun (especially when stuffed in every one's stockings for Christmas morning).

Materials Needed:

PVC Pipe from your local home improvement store cut into approx. 10 inch length

White Vinyl Covering (can also use fabric, contact paper, wrapping paper, use your creativity)

Decorative items (ours were made with electrical tape in red and green wrapped like a candy cane but yarn or ribbon works fine as well)

Mini marshmallows

sandwich baggy and ribbon to attach
Directions:
Simply wrap the PVC Pipe with decorative paper and apply a strip of electrical tape at the top and bottom to secure in place. Next wrap PVC Pipe with electrical tape. Place mini marshmallows in a sandwich bag and secure with ribbon. For fabric, you can also paint glue on the pipe and roll onto the fabric and trim edges.

A mom hint: on Christmas Eve, hide a secret stash of mini marshmallows so you have extra "ammo" on Christmas morning

Ooga Booga for you to love!

These adorable monsters are on their way all the way from "Down Under". I worked with the creator to make a Ooga Booga line for our store that would be free from buttons and have a friendlier face (minus scary teeth) and I couldn't be happier with the results!

We have Orange Spikey Oogaboogas, Green OogaBoogas and Yellow Two Eyed Oogaboogas. If you have any ideas for fun names for the Ooga Boogas, please feel free to post a comment!

BabyLegs Shipments are coming in now!

I know today is wordless but.............I know a lot of you have been waiting for new shipments of BabyLegs to get here and I am happy to say the first (of three) shipment arrived today and the inventory has been added to the site. The next shipment will be in tomorrow!
I have been getting a lot of emails asking about BabyLegs on girls 3 and up so I thought I would post a few model shots to show how they can be worn as your baby grows!
HINT: The Organic BabyLegs actually run longer than the regular BabyLegs so I prefer them for older kiddos!
