October is National Bullying Prevention Month.  Did you know that?  I didn't until recently, although I did remember that last year I was able to get Broxton's school to take part in "stomp out bullying day" and this year I am hopeful that they will participate in Unity Day. To get things going, I am going to see if his teacher wants to borrow a new Charlie Brown DVD.  It is called He's A Bully, Charlie Brown and I think it would be great to show when they have down time or indoor recess.  Either way, we will be watching it here.  I don't want Broxton to be a bully and I don't want him to have to deal with a bully either! Important life lessons are learned by the Peanuts gang, on...

They also sent us a package of pizza sauces.  I really liked that the pizza sauce actually had 3 packets inside so you could make more than one pizza.   As soon as Broxton came home from school, he was already asking to make dinner.  Needless to say, we had a very early dinner that night, but his face was priceless while we made it and then ate his creation.   ...

Monsters (and Halloween) can be a scary subject for children, but if you make the subject fun, the fear can be pushed away. We were sent a couple new books from Sky Pony Press for review and I was excited when we read them and Broxton asked for me to read them again.  The first book was Ava the Monster Slayer.  It was a book about a little girl that needs to go get her piggy from the basement.  You can tell she has an older sibling, because she has a fear of monsters... but lucky for her, she faces her fear to "save" her friend (piggy) and slays monsters on the way!!!  The second book?  It was Broxton's book by far...  The Runaway Punpkin.  In this one, we have a cute little pumpkin that ...

We normally have the TV on at all times...  Some times we are watching, but also for background noise too.  I hate to admit, but we are not familiar with the Nickelodeon show, Avatar. Lucky for us, we just received the complete series for review, so we will be looking into it soon.  I am thinking this would make a nice addition under the tree this Christmas, or maybe as a kick off to winter break?  I don't know, but it looks like something Broxton will enjoy!   Nickelodeon's fan-favorite animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender is now available in this exclusive 16-disc special collection which features every episode from all three seasons of the hit show.
