My son did the same thing.

Watching two babies play with the candy in the baskets was the highlight of my Halloween. They just loved the sound of the cellophane. And 1 year olds like to hand things to people, so it was also very cute watching them try to give the mushed up 100
Grands to the trick-or-treaters.

Coincidentally, my current lover's kids' babysitter has pictures of herself in a suggestive domintrax costume from a party she was at (apparently) last night.

I made it my screensaver this afternoon, is that wrong?

Only because you haven't shared it with the rest of us.

The feed sack costume I made for Kid2 (that he wore to a party on Sat.) was hilarious, but there were too many mosquitos out - they were swarming, so we had a last minute change.

I'll move the picture in a few days so the link won't work anymore, but here you go.

So my lover's babysitter used her home computer to do the myspace thing while babysitting over the weekend and didn't erase the histoury.

Apparently, according to herspace, she is a "freak between the sheets".

Did it mention how she feels about corn on the cob?

Implicitly.....

We will be driving from Houston to Chicago (and back) next month with a barely 3yo and a 1.5yo. Other than flying and/or self-medicating, any suggestions?

portable dvd player? although I'm entirely opposed to the concept myself, it seems to transfix most kids that age I've seen watching one.

Also totally opposed, I found the services of one for 30 hours of travel (and that was just the getting-there piece) with my then-4-yr-old to be quite valuable. THere are only so many times singing Baby Beluga is going to please them.

Also, earplugs might be useful.

A portable dvd may be okay for the three year old...but at that age, i found that things like travel aqua doodle, or the doodle pro kept my little ones far more entertained than the dvd player...well my 3 yr ld loved the muppets at that point so for him he could watch 2 dvds, get 6 episodes amd was in heaven..the little one like the music...

We're making a big car trip soon, too, and I've thought about this. BUT I'm thinking our almost-the-same-age babes might be too young for the movie thing to be really effective. Also, my kids are five years apart and not likely to be interested by the same things. We are planning on dividing the "to" leg of the trip into two more-manageable sections, and only then making our return plans.

Can anyone recommend a good portable DVD? Could we go with a cheapie from, say, Target, and not regret it?

I have arranged to borrow a double dvd thingie. Kid2 doesn't atch tv, so he will not be enthralled with it. Kid1, moreso, esp. since it would be a big treat for him to watch for more time than he's used to.

TMDiva - I don't know about brands, but a GF of mine picked up a double DVD for less than $200 ($180 or so) from Sam's recently and has been thrilled with it - they travel a lot. Does consumerreports.org rate them?

FTR, I am totally opposed also, but will make an exception for a ~17hr trip. Survival is key here.
