I could use some insight. Before I go on I’ll admit that I really got a great laugh out of this, I laughed so hard I cried, and Olivia? She was pissed. I’m curious as to why this particular pair of snow pants are so poofy. I get that they need insulation to keep those little bodies warm, but if you saw this little girl in person you would so see where I’m coming from. I’m not complaining, really, these were a hand me down and I didn’t have to spend a dime on Olivia’s snow gear this year and they do indeed keep her toasty warm. I take that back, I couldn’t  resist buying the hat.  I’m just wondering though, is it at the child’s expense? Do you do it to make parents like me laugh hysterically?

Okay, in all seriousness. I do love Osh Kosh and really just wanted to share this with you all so you could get a little chuckle too. It reminded me of a scene from one of my favorite Christmas movies.

and a few more outtakes of our adventure in the snow for the first time this season:

You know, I don’t know about you, but I’ve tried to buy a different brand of crayon or been gifted a different brand of crayon and they’re just never the same. I came to the conclusion, even before having children, that no other brand is cut out to do the job except Crayola. The other brands are either too waxy or not just the right color or break easy, you name it.

Crayola has now launched Lights, Camera, Color – and application available on Crayola.com where your child can upload their favorite pictures, turn them into coloring pages and color them in! See:

My son who is 5 is a coloring fanatic. This is somewhat new, up until the last year or so he could care less if kept crayons or pencils in the house, he preferred painting. Lots and lots of finger painting. Don’t get me wrong, I encourage my child’s creativity, but crayons are so much easier to clean up! He was beyond thrilled to come home from school and find the Crayola Crayon Tower sitting on the dining room table. We went right to work on uploading and printing our picture. This was easy enough that with a little direction my 5 year old could accomplish the uploading and printing while I finished loading the dishwasher nearby.

Crayola is including on specially marked crayon boxes a code that allows you unlimited prints for 6 months. You can find the codes on these boxes: 48, 64, 96, 120-ct. as well as the 150-ct. Crayon Tower. I also have a special one day pass code to share with as well PRT77F3S to give it a try before you buy.

That’s not all though, Crayola is also offering a Through Hazel Eyes reader their very own Crayola Crayon Tower!
