Top Tweets of the Week: Oct. 20-26


Don't let today's beautiful weather (currently 72 and sunny in Manhattan!) fool you—it just might snow on Saturday. Perhaps you should pack an extra sweater before heading out to trick-or-treat. Or, wear knit pumpkin hats like @suburbanwifedp to keep warm!

I've heard the only cure is more hugs to smush them back into place.

Such fun. And it looks like you may have a singer on your hands!

@jennfalik shares her feelings on the "calm before the storm," AKA before the arrival of baby #2, and why she's not actually calm at all.

Too adorable. Can you teach him to say "Run, Forest, run!" next?

How cute! What other Halloween traditions does everyone have? For more pumpkin fun, check out the u-pick patchesin the area!

An app that did that would be even more popular than Twitter.

Our editorial director @DawnRoode can attest to the amazing experience of Sesame Place, as well.



Yikes. How do you handle it when your child's classmates and friends don't have the same beliefs about the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, etc.?

Squeal!   Halloween is mere days away—are you ready? You still have time to create some creepy crafts, take part in fun holiday activities, and whip up some seasonal recipes. Don't forget to take lots of photos of your little ones in their Halloween costumes to enter in our Halloween Photo Contest for a chance to win prizes to UrbanSitter and KidzBop! The deadline is Wednesday, Nov. 5. We can't wait to see all the adorable outfits!   Join us on Tuesdays for more Top Tweets.
