November 1, 2012 Now that the kids are running in circles from a sugar high and the costumes are away for another year, we'd love to see your munchkins all dressed up! Did your child, nephew, nice, grandson, granddaughter, etc go as a ghost? Perhaps a pumpkin or firefighter? Upload your photos and we'll help you show them off!
October 25, 2012 Have you ever wanted to impress your friends, family or trick-or-treaters with an awesome pumpkin sitting on your front stoop, but couldn't exactly draw it out free hand?

The window washers at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN, kind of make 'Patch Adams' seem like a big old meany. Two of the hospital's three-man window washing team dressed up like Spider-Man, and then rappelled down the side of the building, lifting childrens' spirits while cleaning windows. But yeah, a clown nose is good too.

There's one thing we know for sure about little kids-- they can make practically anything seem adorable. Scrunched-up, twisted sour faces? Check. A boppin' on a bed rendition of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'? You betcha! Although we're a little dumbfounded as to how this "everything is ridiculously adorable" thing actually happens, we can't help but be sucked into the cuteness every darn time. This is especially true when it comes to Halloween.
If there's one thing Ellen DeGeneres loves, it's kids on YouTube. This time she found the boy who was crying in a popular viral video because he isn't allowed to sing a racy Nicki Minaj song. She put him on the show and let him do his thang.

Pool parties are the best. It’s a chance for kids to have some good old-fashioned fun playing with foam noodles and practicing belly flop techniques. Adults, too. But according to kids down in Florida, they’re even better when alligators are involved.
