Reading Captain No Beard Series #Books
Sponsor provided review item. No other compensation was received.
These books were sent to my family to read and share our thoughts on. A pirate on the sea was never as cute as Captain No Beard. Reading the Captain No Beard book series we brushed up on our pirate terminology. My son asking why the pirate said weird words and what do they mean.Read along and you will find Captain No Beard and his crew on the Flying Dragon pirate ship. The Captain No Beard Series by Carole P. Roman includes:
- Captain No Beard - An Imaginary Tale of a Pirates Life
- Pepper Parrot's Problem with Patience
- Stuck In the Doldrums - A lesson in Sharing
Reading the Captain No Beard - An Imaginary Tale of a Pirates Life my son realized at the end it was a little girl ( First Mate Hallie) and boy (Captin Alexander A.K.A Captain No Beard) were pretending. He said, "they are just like me and my brother." Their in there room with their toys? yep :) The crew was stuffed animals Linus the Lion, Fribbet the Frog, and Mongo the Monkey.
Pepper Parrot's Problem with Patience. New crew member Pepper the Parrot loses patience and grows angry when she doesn't know her left and right. I think it's great cause little ones always get confused when first learning as well and practice and help is the way to get there. Not throwing a fuss and giving in.
Stuck In the Doldrums - A lesson in Sharing was my favorite cause so often the leader gets lost and forgets the importants of sharing and team work. Sometimes they forget to be a good friend. This one had a little more action in it and the boys liked that.
Carole P. Roman writes a beautiful tale in the Captain No Bread Series. A must read for your little pirate fan. Go to Amazon and check out Carole P. Roman Books.

Wolf Costumes Wholesale Costume Club Howling Good Time
We received a item for review and sharing our honest opinion about this
wolf costume. The sponsor sent it to us to try and keep, no other compensation was received. The wolf did not tear off any limbs either :)

Something arrived during this last full moon, something scary. It was
spotted in our house and soon the children had turned in to werewolves. The
little one was not safe in grandma's arms, the wolf was still after him :) My boys have had a howling good time playing
with this wolf costume from Wholesale Costume Club. They loved watching the
werewolves in the Twilight movie and enjoy playing wolf and reacting the three
little pigs and little red riding hood.
Howling at the Moon Wolf Costume looks realistic and in the dark can really
frighten little ones, but really so fun. This two piece costume comes with wolf mask that covers around the
head and shirt that has hairy arms and chest. It's not bulky and my son can maneuver freely, the mask holds in place.
I really love a mask that covers the entire head. The shirt has the hairy wolf arms and you just slip it on over the head like a normally piece of clothing. The sleeves look tattered from the wolf bursting them. The extra touch of wolf fur covering over the hand makes a great impression of hairy growth. I can't help of thinking about the movie Teen Wolf from year ago with Micheal J Fox.

This wolf costume is a real treat and certainly well made. We were very happy
with it, from quality to fit. It was fun and entertaining and my boys are
enjoying it and it's not even Halloween. Hopefully they don't scare to many
people this next Halloween.

Sweepstakes PAJANIMALS 15” Plush & National Family Month
May is such a beautiful month, the weather is perfect to get outdoors and enjoy family activities. Picnics, gardening and flowers, camp outs, fishing, and any thing a family can do together. Make it special and do something as a family. It is National Family Month, Universal Family Week (May 12-18, 2013).
Sprout’s Kindness Counts campaign helps parents teach young children the importance of kindness and encourages children to perform random acts of kindness such as helping, sharing, making a new friend, etc. The Kindness Counts website features a Kindness Counter where families can document these kind acts with the goal of reaching 1 million acts of kindness.
PAJANIMALS CELEBRATE FAMILIES IN MAY, Sprout will also air a special on-air spot for its Kindness Counts campaign featuring the Pajanimals. New Pajanimals Episodes Airing On Sprout, Online Activities In Support Of Universal Family Week And National Family Month.
KidsPeace, a private charity founded in 1882, created National Family Month. This month-long celebration helps raise awareness and highlights the importance of family – kids, mothers, fathers, relatives and caregivers – and encourages supporting one another. National Family Month also provides an opportunity for families to share special time together, to develop or renew relationships, and to remind everyone about the importance of family involvement in raising healthy, confident kids.
Sprout’s Kindness Counts campaign helps parents teach young children the importance of kindness and encourages children to perform random acts of kindness such as helping, sharing, making a new friend, etc. The Kindness Counts website features a Kindness Counter where families can document these kind acts with the goal of reaching 1 million acts of kindness.
Underscoring the importance of family, the International Society of Friendship and Good Will proclaimed the second full week in May as Universal Family Week (May 12-18, 2013). And of course we celebrate and honor mothers, motherhood, maternal bonds and the influence of mothers on families and society on Mother’s Day, which falls on Sunday, May 12, this year.
In celebration of Mother’s Day on May 12, Sprout will air two family-centric Pajanimals episodes on Saturday, May 11, and Sunday, May 12. “Missing Mom and Dad:” At bedtime, Sweet Pea Sue misses Mom and Dad and wishes she could sneak into their bed where it feels so “warm and safe.” The Pajanimals travel to The Night Sky where The Moon comforts her and tells Sweet Pea Sue that her parents are very close by and will always be there (if she needs them). And the episode,“Mom is Amazing!:” Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and the Pajanimals have decided to help Mom with her chores, but they quickly realize that Mom does A LOT of chores for the family. Not sure what to do, the Pajanimals travel to the Night Sky, where The Moon tells them that just recognizing all that Mom does and offering to help her is a great gift not just for Mother’s Day, but any day.
Pajanimals are also offering a free Mother’s Day Coloring Card, which can be downloaded and printed, allowing kids to add their own personal artistic vision to the card (and a photo, too).
www.sproutonline.com Pajanimals’ themed activities
- Printable Pajanimals Bedtime Activity Cards which parents and kids can use to learn about and reinforce healthy bedtime routines!

- There are also fun family craft projects like Big Blue Sea Felt Aquarium, which instructs families on how they can create an indoor aquarium out of felt; and Apollo’s Night Time Memory Game, which helps families to create their own special memory game to play again and again.
- Nothing brings a family together like meal times, and the Pajanimals have a number of easy recipes the whole family can make and enjoy, including CowBella’s
- S-moo-thie, Apollo’s Moon and Stars snacks and Sweetpea Sue’s Horseshoe Bread, a sweet snack that’ll be fun to make for mom on Mother’s Day.

Picnics and Moms
My Mother Day was the best ever and my moms too!!
I have two moms- my mom and my great aunt. The boys and I fixed them these cards with the rainbow paint hand prints and wrote the boys names up under the prints. The boys made me cards too :)
We made a visit to the hospital to visit my husband's mom. When we got home we grilled and had a picnic. The kids wanted nanna to pull them. She tried but, gave out quickly. Pa had to pull then, dad. They had so much attention and then came out with costumes on showing every one.
The Big Present I got for Mother's Day, a new SUV. My son are driving me crazy over the sunroof. My last one the motor blew up about 2 weeks ago and we just had a new transmission put in the darn thing before that. LIFE
We dumped the cooler and our dog Pep started eating the ice. He stayed there eating it for a bout 30 mins. I had the best Mother's Day is all I can say, picnics and moms are the best. I hope everyone else had a great day as us.Friday, May 10, 2013
Karate Chinchilla
Karate class moved fast last night. I didn't have my camera or phone with me, shame cause the instructor's wife came out holding her baby chinchilla. It was one day old and very lively. The kids got to hold one of the older ones, she said it was 30 years old and she had it for 15 years.
They had the softest fur and was simply adorable. They reminded me of a rabbit body size with mouse ears and face, adding a squirrel tail.
