Show-and-Tell, Round 4: Halloween Spooky Tree

There was a debate in our house this morning about what Ivie should take for Show-and-Tell. My first thought was that Mrs. Potato Head (referenced and shown in an earlier post) would be perfect, since it's Halloween... Dale, though, was skeptical. Would the teachers WANT a real pumpkin in the class for 2-year-olds to handle? Was that a good idea, given that it was slightly heavy and could easily drop, break, and spew pumpkin insides all over the classroom? And what about all the pieces to Mrs. Potato Head? Was it plausible that Ivie would come home with all of them?

All points that I had obviously not considered when throwing out the idea. So off Ivie went with the Halloween Spooky Tree, instead! Press his hand, and he sings the following song, to the tune of "The Addams Family" theme song. Go ahead, sing as you read. I know you want to...

Duh, duh, duh, duh... Choo, Choo!
Duh, duh, duh, duh... Choo, Choo!
Duh, duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh, duh... Choo, Choo!

We're out for Hallowe-en
The costumes are a scre-am
It sure is fun to see 'em
The kids who trick-or-treat.

Just look at what they're wearin'
They're all dressed up for scarin'
They're cute beyond comparin'
The kids who trick-or-treat.



And here's a quick shot of Macie this morning, ready for Halloween in her "Love Potion" top with her pumpkin by her side (which her mommy will be filling up for her tonight, of course!). We hope to get pictures of her later today in her cat costume (compliments of the Devers), but this will work for now! By the way, Mac set another record last night - 8 hours!!!
