Halloween pictures:

Here are our halloween pictures. First Alyssa and Angela LOVED helping clean out the pumpkins to carve them. Then we had a lot of fun carving the pumpkins... The order of the pumpkins are: Mommy's, Ashley's, Angela's and Alyssa's (Alex didn't want to carve with us). Then we have pictures of the trich or treaters... Alex got to go trick or treating with his best friend Cole. They both were storm troopers. Alex is on the left, Cole is on the right. Ashley wanted to have a friend go with her too, so we invited her friend Peyton to go trick or treating with us girls. Ashley was a Witch, Alyssa was a Good Witch, Angela was a princess, and I can't remember what Peyton was, but it looked cool! :) We had a fun time and the girls got WAY TOO MUCH candy... we are still trying to eat (get rid) of it...

PIcture problems

I figured out what the problem was...

When I put the fancy backgrounds on, I did something in the code and basically made it so the larger pictures wouldn't fit...

I'm going to put it back to this plain background for now, and then maybe in the future I can figure out how to put the fancy backgrounds back on and not mess up the size of the columns and stuff. :)

what???/

Why are my pictures not reducing in size... it's cutting off the right side of them...

Well... when I get this figured out, then I'll put up a bunch of pictures...

Rich??? Wanna help me figure this out?? :) Pretty please??? :)

Ok... I'm going to barrage ya'll with pictures... I'm trying to get my write-up about our trip done, but first I'll start with the not so distant past, and then move further in the past to the trip.

Halloween:

Ashley had a book report due on Halloween day. It was a biography on a famous american. She choose Betsy Ross. She wasn't thrilled with the costume I came up with, but she didn't want it to be her halloween costume, so I told her since we bought the halloween costume, I wasn't spending money on this costume.


Alyssa and Angela and I started carving pumpkins while the older kids were at school. They had a BLAST! and loved pulling out the guts.

I really have been neglecting the blog lately. I hope to get back to blogging more in the coming weeks, but for now I just haven't had much time to sit down and sort through pictures to post, and then I feel guilty that I haven't posted about our trip, and feel like I can't post about everything else going on...

But I really will try to carve out some time and get the blog caught up. I like to keep family caught up on what we are doing, and I like to keep a record- after all the primary function of this blog is as a journal for me, it's easier to keep it here, than in a paper journal.
