Today I am writing on one of my favorite topics: how to use wordless picture books for narrative assessment and treatment purposes in speech language pathology.

Back to school also means "back to sports" for many children. In our case, this fall is the first time we'll be starting some fall sports along with school. Maggie has decided she wants to play soccer and both girls will be taking ballet class. So, while we are getting our school gear lined up, we've also had to get some sports gear too. As a parent, the world of sports and after school activities is brand new. I did plenty of activities as a child, but this is the first time I am the one making sure the little athletes are prepared, stay safe and are having fun. I've been browsing the web for good deals on clothes, shoes and equipment for little ones starting sports. I've also been trying to find the best ways to share good tips on staying healthy and safe as well as being a good sport. As we head into our first fall of sports, we are excited and ready to play!

Me and 80+ blog buddies got together to bring you 80+ DIY Halloween costumes, including my Elephant and Piggie Costumes. I'm teaming up with Jamie Dorobek and her handmade Halloween costume site, Really Awesome Costumes to bring y'all tons of easy ideas to craft up DIY Halloween costumes for everyone including your pets, family costumes, and even a trunk or treat idea! Along with my Elephant and Piggie Costumes, I'm sharing 88+ more really awesome handmade costume ideas from talented bloggers everywhere! So let me say, I am crazy... Let me finish. I am crazy about Halloween costumes. I also quite enjoy themed costumes for Halloween. This year we went with costumes that are based on book characters. Our family LOVES the Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Willems. Have you read those books? Oh my word, they are amazing, hilarious, and all together quite fantastic. We have almost all of them, and we read them all the time. All. The. Time. So it was a no brainer on our Halloween O' Book Characters to dress the youngest two as Gerald the Elephant and Piggie for this Halloween. Another reason it seemed destined to dress them as Elephant and Piggie is because Gerald, the Elephant, wears glasses and Little wears glasses. It was meant to be. For both of the costumes I started with Butterick Pattern 3238. I used micro fleece. I altered the tail, the ears, and omitted the elastic in both costumes. The tails and ears are both made to mimic the book characters themselves. I followed then construction instructions I just changed the shapes. The were a few components not made from the pattern. For Gerald, I added the toenails in a lighter fleece. I cut 3 half circles for each "leg". That was 12 total. Then I sewed them on to the edge of the sleeves and the end of the splats (shoe covers). I also made a simple trunk by sewing a tube, filling it with batting and then attaching it to a piece of fleece. Then I sewed elastic to the ends of the fleece.. For sweet little Piggie, I only added a cute but ridiculously large piggy snout. I sewed to black felt slits to the front of an oval piece of fleece. Then I attached a piece of elastic. Did I mention anything about the cuteness? Elephant and Piggie are a pretty good start to our Halloween O' Book Characters. And now it's time for tons more DIY Halloween costume inspiration!
