Happy it is almost over...

October that is...Adam and I go round and round about this crazy (non)holiday. I am so over all the ugly decorations that are often too scary for my precious 3 yo. I get tired of explaining that whatever they are are just "silly" guys. Just the other day I was letting Bryson watch a DVR'd episode of Sid the Science kid. I was in the other room folding laundry and all of a sudden I hear shrill screams. The show ended and live TV came on...low and behold it was an advertisement for NBC's Thursday night line up. The commercial had some sort of monsters on it that scared the life out of my baby. I am overly protective about what and how much TV he watches. I wouldn't even let him watch Charlie Browns The Great Pumpkin cartoon the other day only because it had been years and years since I have seen it. I couldn't remember the premise or what was on the cartoon. I feel the need to preview anything he watches. I want to guard his precious little heart as long as I can. He is only young once and he has a life time to experience scary things.

On to Thanksgiving! I am thankful for November all ready.

I agree!! I hate halloween! And I wouldn't let the kids watch the charlie brown pumpkin thing either! HAHA! We didn't even address halloween. Poor thing had no idea what our crazy neighbors "graveyard" decorations were about. Don't think I'll get by with it next year though! Bring on a real holiday!

I agree Holly. We couldn't go into Target for the whole month because Joshua said he didn't want to see the scary things. I made sure to go when he wasn't with me. I don't mind dressing up, pumpkins, pumpkin carving...but I am so over the scary.
