November 1, 2007 at 8:51 AM SPC What I Wear #1
I wear.. Perfume
i'm terribly disappointed with my submission for this week.
1) i apparently pick the most unknown costumes ever. i was going for bond girl, cold war spy, 60's chick... can't you tell? meh.
2) as i took pictures for this weeks challenge i realize that i hide my body in all of the pictures. when i take a full body picture i can't say that i like it. i'm lumpy in all the wrong places! so i think this challenge is going to be a lot harder for me than i expected. this is the whole point of the self portrait challenge for me, to become more comfortable and discover the woman that i really am. i guess i'm just going to have to find peace with it.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&halloween: i think i'm boycotting next year, seriously! i was exhausted by 7 pm and we hadn't even gone trick or treating by then. the kids were cranky all morning, making mama cranky too. it didn't help that i hadn't gotten to sleep until 3:30am the morning before. stoopid me!
my girlie girls. f was busy pouting and wouldn't get in the pic. like i said we were all a little cranky. e was a fairy princess, f was a pirate, g was a china doll (she LOVES eyeliner!), and h was pebbles.
my little pebbles!
note: THE wand
we went to a party at my birth center and they had free pictures taken. h had thrown up all over the carrier, but, well, i hadn't noticed. so sue me. i just love how f wouldn't look at the camera, he's so gentle.
in the words of my secret art affair friend, nicole, *Nothing on Earth is so beautiful as the final haul on Halloween night.*

on friday we had a pumpkin carving contest. i always get so excited because mine turn out so well and i'm just SURE that i'm going to win. but again, i get too complicated and nobody *gets* my entry. these are mine. my mermaid: 
my pirate skull:
am i the only one that can see them??? i didn't think so. tell that to the judges!

The pumpkins are so creative, I can totally see them. I love the kids costumes too! On the the next holiday right?
i love that 1st pic of you...and i'm lovin' those boots...
yeah, one year i made britton a costume...it was max from the book where the wild things are...no one had a clue who he was...so i totally understand the feeling that nobody gets you...
I see two pirate skulls--on in the pumpkin and one in the throw up on the baby carrier. :)
first of all...that photo of you is fabulous!!!
it's totally 60's chic and you are gorgeous...
i love it!!!
lastly, you totally should have won that pumpkin carving contest...your designs were amazing!!!
as far as all the madness in between...
i hear ya sister!!!
hope you had a day to recuperate with your adorable little ones today ;-)
I think you look beautiful...and the kids are pretty cute too.
Your pumpkins are awesome!
My monkeys cried that they didn't want to be ghosts, then spent the entire time happily flying about and scaring people... jeez, I tell ya.
At least I can make sure all their Milky Ways are "safe"......
"Aww, this one looks like it was tampered with guys...."
'Mommy, why is all the bad candy chocolate?'
Ummmm.....
I see the pictures in the pumpkins! And you looked fabulous! What a hottie 60's chick you are!
I didn't even dress up... Georgia is in some serious need of new clothes... clothes that fit her new, larger chubbier frame without squishing her exra-ness into weird places. UGH.
We love, love, love 007 around here. (Eldest ain't too fond of the Bond girls, 'cause he is only 11.) But I'm a Bond girl fan, too. Great photos. Love the SPC!
You look fantastic as a bond girl! Your kids look adorable. Thanks for wishing me a Happy Birthday. I love you friend!
I love your pumpkins! And you are adorable!!!! Really! I'm lumpy in the wrong places, too. Sigh.
Cute kiddos!
