Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth
Posted by Chelsea on November 01, 2007
Thankfully, this Halloween the Kaplans avoided the costume scandal of last year. Luckily, I got it right this time by purchasing with a seriously adorable Batman getup for my son. Not the most original, I know, but is there anything cuter than a little boy in a Batman costume? I think not.
While I imagined he’d look cute in the costume, I was concerned that my son would not be into donning the best parts of it - the cape and the mask. Fortunately, however, he didn’t protest about either. Phew!
By the time we were ready to go trick or treating, Batman was WIRED. He had no nap yesterday (too much excitement, I guess) and had eaten like 3 packages of Whoppers.
Here are some photos of all the Halloween glory:
Batman with his weapon of choice, a plastic pumpkin
Riding his version of the Batmobile
Getting ready to go out, minus his hat
Trick or treating/saving the neighborhood with Dad
Back at home, saving the rug from fuzz balls
And kissing Mommy, the biggest superhero of all, right?
Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Up There With Naptime
My Current Obsessions
The Kiefer Cottage
Meet the Kiefers: a quirky, lovable family of five on a quest to transform their 1940s Kansas City bungalow into the house of their dreams. The budget is small, the dreams are big, the creativity is inspiring. Check them out - you can thank us later. Happy reading, everybody!
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner
I don't understand gals who claim to loooove cleaning. That said, I do get a certain joy from using Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner to care for my home. You can't lose with this stuff...it is hard-working & earth-friendly, and will leave your abode smelling like a day spa instead of a chemical spill. Try Lemon Verbena in the kitchen and Basil in the bathroom. At only $7.99 a bottle, you can afford to pick up both!
True Blood
Um, does this even need a caption? Doubtful, but let me just say that this is the hottest hour on television. Vampires are seriously sexy (especially Eric), and on this show you get to see a lot of them--if you get what I mean. Put the kids to bed and flip the channel to HBO on Sundays at 9 p.m. to taste the fun that is True Blood.
Valentino Bow Thong Sandals
So comfy and feminine, I know I'd wear them all summer. But dang, that much money for jellies? Possibly worth the splurge. $275, nordstrom.com
New Balance Kids’ Sneakers in wide sizes
My boys have wide feet, which means finding cute shoes for them is tough. These, however, rock. Prices vary, visit nbwebexpress.com to purchase.
Zoya “Laurie” Nail Polish
This sheer pink polish is, without question, the PERFECT nude pink. Plus, the polish is free of formaldehyde, toluene, camphor and dibutyl phthalate (read: yucky crap that isn't really safe for prego gals). $6, enailsupply.com.
