WW – Who Had All These Kids?

October 22, 2008 by Elaine

We had our Halloween party for our playgroup on Monday and somehow we got all but two of the kids (babies Christian and Claire who were in the house) to sit mostly still for a picture. And their darling Candy Corn t-shirts were made by friend Michelle as favors for her son Carter’s 2nd birthday party. Here are a couple of the best shots I got after clicking away like a crazy woman!

And the title of the post comes from the fact that we look around at our playgroup now and wonder where all the kids came from! I am not an “original” member but I believe this playgroup began with only 4 or 5 babies and now, if we all get together there are 17 (including Cooper who was the first to head off to Kindergarten).

Anyway, aren’t they cute?

For more Wordful Wednesday go to Angies’ place, Seven Clown Circus and for more Wordless Wednesday go over to 5 Minutes 4 Mom!

OH and p.s. I have a little giveaway going on on my previous post here (scroll down to #4) and if you have a little girl you may want to check it out! : )

    What’s going on here! It took me 5 minutes to scroll to the comment form 😉
    I just read on Yahoo that candied corn is an unwanted Halloween treat! What ev, I love the stuff.

    Too cute, I played Where’s Misselaine’s boys with it. I found them right away!

  41. Aly says

    October 22, 2008 at 9:32 pm

    And they all sat still! My son would be the one child that you only saw a foot in the pic, if anything, since he’d be too “busy” to stop for a photo. That is such a cute picture of your playgroup.

    Adorable!
    Our playgroup started with 7 moms and 7 kids. It has now, in two years, grown to 11 moms and 21 kids. Most the of firstborns are in preschool now so all those people don’t cram into one house for playgroup, but birthday parties and other weekend playgroup events are utter chaos. So much fun!
