This is great! Do you know if they will be doing stuff on Nick Jr. as well? My daughter is only 2 1/2.

That's neat. I wish there would be something like that here, but I guess we could celebrate it ourselves! If I didn't have the prom to cater, I would watch it!

I will have to let my kids know about it, they both gave games Saturday morning (t-ball and softball) but the rest of the day is open so they should be able to catch a few of the shows.

Philly isnt that far from me but my kids have games on those days...

Sorry...I don't see any mention of it on the Nick Jr. site. Maybe you can plan your own celebration? My younger son is 3 and I know we'll be watching "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" - it's his favorite. I'm also debating whether or not I want to make Halloween cookies...I may just buy the refrigerated dough and use the cookie cutters, rather than making them from scratch...I don't think they'll mind!

Have fun!
