Welcome to 5th installment of Alphabitty Moments! If this is your first time participating you can read the inspiration behind this carnival here. Each Thursday a new Mr. Linky will be added so we can be inspired by the creativity of page layouts, the photographs, and the stories behind the pictures that others have to offer.

The code box above is a trial run...Please let me know if it is successful or not. Thanks!

And now for the good stuff... The Letter 'E'

Without spending a penny, this is what I came up with for Halloween costumes this past Fall. They won't always let me dress them up in soft, cuddly, and coordinated costumes. It will be fun while it lasts!

*I use Blurb's Booksmart for my page layouts, but feel free to post pictures like normal or use your favorite bookmaking software.

Now it's your turn!

Playing catch up

I've got a couple posts worth of photos that I've been meaning to share: Halloween and Sam & Julia's birthday party. I better upload them now before the holiday rush and they get completely forgotten.
This batch is from the Halloween party we go to every year. The weather was calm and warm enough to be outside without being bundled up. The host were brilliant. Instead of the usual games geared towards adults (who then couldn't play because the children needed supervising) she incorporated the kids into the fun. We wrapped Brian up as mummy and we scavenged the woods for items on a list, including a pine cone that I climbed way up in a tree to retrieve.
Just for fun, see if you can list off any of the costumes you see. Here's another hint on Brian's costume: politics

Doesn't Julia make a cute Little Red Riding Hood?


















Ok, on to the party.... (October 13th, 2007)

Sam and Julia's Birthday party this year was at McDonald's playland. Cousins, Godparents, Aunts, and friends made for a fun afternoon.

The annual birthday tree picture.


We also take a picture every year in this chair my Grandparents made for me when I was little. The picture on the right is on Sam's 1st birthday


Here's JoJo's first chair picture.


Phew. That feels good to get that task completed. Now if only cleaning out the garage so we can park the van inside before it snows could be so much fun!

Wordless Wednesday - (overdue Halloween edition)

You might remember Brian's request in this post. Any guesses on what his costume is? Click here if you need a hint.

We may not celebrate Halloween or go trick-or-treating, but I'm a sucker for a cute costume.

Sweeter than (Halloween) Candy

Sorry to keep everyone in suspense about our Chicago trip. I do plan to write about it soon. It takes weeks to see the pictures from the 4 hours we were at the studio and who knows when/if an agent will want to represent her.
