We trick or treat today! My mom ordered her a costume back in August. We figured it wasn’t going to make it on time, so I devised a back up costume. I cut the bottom off of a fancy bib Maria gave her for her birthday and sewed it onto a pair of pants, put her in a pink shirt, and added the pink wings Lani gave her – and voila! – pink fairy! It actually turned out cute:

But then … lo and behold … her costume arrives the day before Halloween. And it’s really, really cute! So she’ll go as a monkey this evening. This was our first fitting yesterday:

We’ll try to take more pictures today. The plan is to go to one of the malls with Anna, Toby, Amber, Mikey and Callie. I have no idea what they are going as, but it should be fun. I’ll let you know! And you let me know how your Halloween turns out.
So, you may remember I started documenting a week in our lives – which was the week before last. I have tons of photos to go through and pages to make. Yet, my free trial of Adobe Photoshop Elements ran out in the midst of it and I’ve only just now bought the full program. (It’s like Photoshop Lite, with a much lighter price. One runs upwards of $650 and the other goes for $89. I also found a coupon online which saved me another $13 and change. I used Photoshop for years and years, and I find PSE does just about everything I need it to. No complaints here.) Anyways, with my fresh copy of PSE6, I’m ready to start cranking out some pages of my album.
Another reason I’m dragging: I’ve been having a rough week in the health department. Now, I haven’t had a really bad stretch for a while now. And it’s not as bad as when I was pregnant. The first day of my project we took my grandmother to a museum and to one of the war in the Pacific parks, and I got entirely too much sun while taking photos from Nimitz Hill. That set me up for a bad time. By Saturday I had a baby shower to go to and I didn’t take any pictures that day or the next because I just felt so sick. So it’s more like 5 days in my life. Some of the last pictures I took were me laying in bed, and since I spent most of Sunday in bed, that seems a proper way to end my album. I did go to the movies with Lani on Sunday, but she’ll tell you I wasn’t my usual perky self. So, no pictures that day either. I spent two days fasting the crap out of my system. Besides waking up with a migraine this morning; I feel much better today.
Ah well. It’s a start. And I’m thinking of doing it again when Wayne comes home for R&R anyway. Which is January!! I’m so excited! I have two months to wade around in my anticipation.
