You know how I can barely manage to eek out 2-3 posts a week? Well I went and signed up for NaBloPoMo. For those of you under a blogging rock, that is the commitment to blog once a day for a whole month of November. Now some of you, including my mother, are thrilled at the thought of the ol’ Kelster pecking away her lofty thoughts on her keyboard for 30 days straight…however…HOWEVER…even a photo can count as an entry and that, my friends, is what sold me on the challenge. I have to be honest, my life is pretty mundane and I simply refuse to talk about stupid crap (although many of my posts are debatable on that) so I would rather not blog at all than bore you with this and that. What I can do and you all seem to enjoy…. is toss a picture on a screen. So here I am…DAY ONE and she is out of the gates strong. Who wants to bet on my horse making it to the end of the race? Anyone have faith in me considering this weekend I will barely have time to pee, let alone blog? Anyone, Anyone????? Well I will show you! You just have to promise to drop some comments here and there, I don’t expect everyone to comment everyday…that is asking ALOT…although I may do a giveaway at the end of the month to my most faithful commenter…maybe a pillow or dish towel bedazzled by yours truly. Just a little carrot to dangle in your face! I’m just sayin’…….
I am going to have to milk my Halloween photos a bit. No peeking on Flickr or you will be bored when I actually put them in a blog post.
Let’s start out with some pumpkin patch photos. I almost missed the opportunity to get Chloe with pumpkins, but 15 minutes before meeting Candace and Conner to trick or treat we zoomed over and snapped some photos. Whooooo…..what kind of mother would I be without those beloved pumpkin shots?
Look at my menacing Purple People Eater? Doesn’t she look like she could rip you from limb to limb?
We tried to get her to growl…but not so much.
For the life of us, we can not get her to point with one finger, she insists on two. So we call it her “Peace Out”
Hey look at me, showered and everything..impressive. I would just like to say that I have cut my own hair 3 times since getting my hair “done”….I am almost to where I want it. My house is littered with hair, it is quite gross!
No Chloe, absolutely not, under no circumstances are we buying that lopsided, busted up pumpkin half your size…don’t even give me the eyes, it isn’t working!
Ryan says she looks like Boo on Monster’s Inc. and wants her to say “Kitty!” or “Mike Wazowski”…but she wouldn’t
Not cooperating with daddy. Check out the new fall beard. Me likey. As if making a baby didn’t confirm his manhood, now a beard? Ryan, your brothers believe you.
That concludes our tour of the pumpkin patch once Chloe realized pumpkin stems taste like butt. I could have told her that, but she insisted on licking. Stubborn little girl.
Oh and just because your eyes haven’t beheld enough Chloe.
I have to show you a shot of what was under the costume. She was a little ballerina. I mean check out the legs….she has ballerina/model written all over them. Legs for miles.
Talking on her celly’s!
eat her dust. We out.
Mike Wazowksi! Cute little Boo/purple people eater!
P.S. I’m the first commenter! Does that count for anything???
Love the pumpkin patch photos
You guys look like such a fun family
What a cute little monster:) You can do it! It’s only 30 days:)
oh, you can so do NaBloPoMo. Even though I never hear about these things, I’m always like “what’s the big?” because I do blog every day. BUT. In my defense I say that I would never blog if I wasn’t at a desk 8 hours a day. that’s why sometimes I double-blog. 2 in the same day! then you can tell how bored i am.
good luck! i’ll keep reading. these pictures are MONEY. I love Monster’s Inc., good call.
What a rockin’ first post!
Peace out
yeah. i won’t be blogging once a day. i mean, i’m pretty good- maybe 4 times a week. but, i cannot do it once a day. i don’t even have a computer at home. buuuuuuuuut, that should not discount me from winning a fabulous kelly prize. i mean, come on……..we have just entered chloe and i’s birthday MONTH. oh yes, chlo. it’s a birthday MONTH. take it for all it’s worth, baby! speaking of- cannot believe she’s a year old any MINUTE. holy moly.
to ryan- HOT BEARD! but, you may have to pace the stach. it’s looking a little thicker than the beard, no? you stud.
yeah, your hair looks cute kelly. i like it.
you are a hot preggo mama!
Ok - first off .. if you are going to commit to blogging every day for the month of Novemeber. I will give it whirl to comment on your entries. Ya know.. I am the closet reader of you blog (and recently came outta the closet). So if you try… I shall try!
Second - Man! I have already seen the Flickr photos.. but they are way far better here in your blog.. cuz your comments on them give them photos more personality! I adore your photos.
i must say, i feel the same way about my comments - if it’s not somewhat witty and interesting - why post it? but for this month, if a picture counts as a post - does a single letter count as a comment? cause i could do that everyday. (maybe)
little-chlo-chlo-miss-C-cutie-pie-sweet-cheeks is soooooooo adorable. she really is. i wish i could come see her.
What a nice gift you have given to all your fans…posts everyday!! What did we ever do to deserve such a treat!?!
That’s so great!
Chloe gave it a good try at being scary in her little monster outfit! How adorable. But no costume is going to mask her cuteness. Great pics. And I love your hair.
chloe is so adorable. and look how cute you look!
Well, I’m super excited that you will be blogging every day since I LOVE to read your posts! I’m leaving on Saturday for vacation and will have no internet access (ACK!) for a week so I will have lots to catch up on when I get back. Love the pictures, she is too cute!
30 days of KELLLLLYYYY
what has this world come to!
very thrilled, very thrilled, and i’ll commit to comment more often!!
LOVING ballerina chloe….
Such cuteness!
I am a big fan of your photos, so I say bring ‘em on for the daily post thang!
And if I could make my hair look that good by choppin’ on it I would cut away!
I love those little pigtails….so cute!
I think your hair is beautiful! And Chloe DOES look like Boo!
TOO CUTE!
I’ll take your comment-every-day challenge! I love a challenge!!
So cute! What keeps you from just eating that little girl up???? Those cheeks!
Halloween is so much fun! We had a great time with our kids and I already went out today and bought next year’s costumes on half-price! Woohoo!
I am so gonna win that pillow.
what does BleeBlahbBloBlo mean?? Chloe looks so cute in her purple-people-eater get up…definitely looks like Boo. Caleb was a pumpkin (pics on myspace soon). Ryan…first time I’ve EVER seen him with facial hair. I didn’t even know he had to shave.
Will you be my professional photographer? Pleeeeeeaaaaaase!
I can’t believe how cute Chloe is. And what a cute costume! Blogging once a day is hard work. I can barely do once a week! You Go Girl!
Wow, I’m impressed Kelly! Power to ya. We’ll all be here routing you on.
And on my goodness to Chloe Grace. She needs to be entered into the cutest Halloween baby contest. There is one, isn’t there????
Chloe is the cutest! I love the costume
I let out quite the chuckle when I beheld Chloe’s graceful ballerina thighs! Hilarious!
OMG!
Seriously, she is the cutest little girl baby ever!
We need to get her & my cutest little boy baby together…LOL
Oh, I’m so excited that you are doing NaBloPoMo
Awesome. I did is last year, that’s enough for me… Enjoy!!
tis the Second of November and no new post :oP
hehe.. just holding you accountable n all that! and I dunno what the time difference is over there but there’s only about 5 hours left in the day here..
love that post btw - Chloe is tooo cute for words!
Love the costume! Hope you guys had a Happy Halloween! Looking forward to ALL the November posts! ;o)
I adore the pictures as usual. You totally rock, and you will post everyday this month…I will put money on it!
I thought you might be jealous of my halloween as I got to see Dwight. Oh yes. The one. The only. The Dunder Miflin hottie. HE was at our local church trunk or treat. Or…er… at least… I thought it was him. He even had the Dunder Miflin signed taped to his back. Then he turned around. And the face was all wrong. I was totally gonna go take a pic with him of he had the face… but no. He had the hair & glasses, but not the face with that studly fivehead.
I’m totally looking forward to non-stop Chloe for the next month. Bring it, girl!
