Before we begin our Listicles today I have something exciting to share with you. I have been interviewed by Mama Wants This and I am sure you are all super curious what I am like in real life, when I am not the listmaster extraordinaire. So once you link up and all make your way over CLICKING HERE. Thank you.
Happy Halloween!
Are you having a spooky, fun filled one? Are you ready to tell me all about it? Good. Before we start sharing, a huge shout out to the brains behind Best of the Blogosphere and last weeks topic chooser Sue. Great lists, great turnout and wonderful idea-thank you all for sharing.
And now onto something completely different. No, not Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Next week’s Listicles. Brought to you by Lovelinks crew is the topic you have all been waiting for:
BABES IN THE BLEACHERS
-we will be putting together a list dedicated to your HIGH SCHOOL YEARS
-we will be asking you to add this cute button that the girls worked on very hard
-we promise not to laugh at bad perms and fashion choices so you are encouraged to add photos
(Bruce and all other men linking up, you may talk about your babes or turn it into Dudes in the… list)
Excited? I am!
In the mean time, let us share a list of ten things HALLOWEEN (or not, whatever tickles your fancy).
Make a list, check it twice, link it up. Read others. Have fun!
10 THINGS LITTLE J FOUND IN IZA TRAPANI‘S BOOK Haunted Party
AND LEARNED ABOUT HALLOWEEN
1. Ghosts smile a lot

2. Skeletons like bones

3. If you are dressed as a firefighter you get all the candy

4. Witches like to fly on brooms

5. A lot

6. Vampires are messy when catching apples

7. It is better to hide behind the curtain then clock

8. Little ghost has a black cat

9. Mouse is running away from the black cat

10. Fruit bats like pumpkins

All of the above are things my son said in the past few weeks while we were reading this book. He loves it and I am sure your children will too. And I say this because I mean it and for no other reason at all.

Stasha, can I lurk this week? Yeah I was all like peacock this and peacock that, but…dear God, let me lurk.
Thank you for hosting the lovelinks crew’s listicle prompt next week! Mommy2Cents did a great job on the button, and we can’t wait to see the pictures your readers dig out of their shoeboxes.
Have a safe trick or treating with my man J and my boyfriend M.

LOVE that you said “chuffed,” first of all. I just can’t ever bring myself to say that word quite out loud but you’ve pulled it off gorgeously. And LOVE those illustrations…am going to show Caleb that book; he’ll love it. I’m dressed as a blogger this halloween … not an exciting costume but it’s what I had on hand…. list to follow later today. THANKS for the Babes linkup next week.

Those are some great illustrations on Iza’s book. I remember reading about this book of hers when she linked up once. Glad that Little J likes the book.

Vampires in my house are messy too with apples.

Iza’s book is simply darling and I thank you, again for alerting me about the give away. I am thrilled that I won a copy! Lucas loves it, except the last page when the ghost says “BOO!”.
Wishing you and yours a very Happy Halloween!

Oh, I am so glad you won it! I love reading it!! The way the last rhyme sets the pace and rolls from page to page… And my son keeps finding new things in the illustrations.
Last year they read a ghost book in preschool and he was really scared of them for a while. Whatever concerns he might have still had, this book cleared them away. It is just such a happy one!

Looks like a great book! He’s such a cutie!

Isn’t it smashing? We had a few of her books from years back and our library stocks up most of her work too! I love her rhyme and illustrations. Not to mention, she is a great list maker

We borrowed that book from the library last year and those Edvard Munch-esque ghouls TERRIFIED my daughter. They’re pretty creepy!
Tracy recently posted..Halloween, then and now.
Tracy, I’m sorry the ghouls scared your daughter

I’m always looking for new holiday themed books, Stasha and this one looks like a winner. Awesome illustrations and the text is fun too! On a side note, I love how you ended the post with the fact that you read it for no other reason then J loves it!

That looks like a spooctacular book! We are a little behind here, but will catch up in a day or two with some spooky (or probably just cute) H-we’en photos! Congrats again on your feature at MamaWantsThis. Looking forward to next week’s Listicle topic too!!

I’ve always suspected it was the firefighters, depriving us other treaters of all the candy!

I love those illustrations. Makes me want to dig my watercolor paints and paper out of the box in the attic. Have a fun and safe Halloween!

I adore his take on things and he’s quite astute! It’s a good thing skeletons like bones, by the way, seeing as how that would be a major blow to their self-esteem if they didn’t.

gosh I love your kind of funny. I might have to hire you to comment on my post everyday so I can have a good ol’ laugh!!
Oh my! My head has swollen. It’s as big as the great pumpkin. Thank you so so much, Stasha! I am so happy that little J likes the book and is finding new things. All those painstaking hours of painting details have paid off! He has a great eye!
Thank you all for your kind comments!
It’s so true- every time my son would dress in his turnout suit he would get larger handfuls of candy- people just love the fireman costume.
Of course- he had real ones- so I’m sure that helped.

That book looks so cool. I think there are some writing prompts in there. I am going to use it in my classroom for next Halloween.

Loving next weeks theme.
My son brought that book home a couple weeks ago. It is a good one. I am so behind on reading. Don’t worry guys, I’m going to be chipping away at this list starting today!! I haven’t forgotten about all of you… I’ve just been kinda busy!
