~~October Siggy Challenge Ideas~~

edited September 2013 in Trouble TTC

Hi ladies!! September flew by -- I almost missed the fact that we needed to decide what our October challenge would be before Tuesday!  With October being synonymous with fall & Halloween, I thought it would be fun to do something related to those topics.  It's easier to think of Halloween themes than fall, so if you have any new ideas, chime in!

 

Here are a few ideas - put in your votes (or new ideas) :) 

  1. Best scary movie
  2. Favorite villain from a classic scary movie
  3. Old throw-back pic of yourself dressed up in costume for Halloween
  4. Favorite treat or food that involves pumpkin and you can't wait to eat now that fall is here

And congrats again to last month's winner @GermanGirl2007-- although extra congrats on the BFP! 



Me 33, DH 37 -- TTC since Jan'12 -- Low AMH (0.78) & endo, SA w/ low motility
IUI's 1-3 = BFN, IVF converted to IUI 4/13 = BFN
IVF 1.2: 8R 6M 4F -- 2 blastocysts frozen, FET 8/15 = BFP!!
Beta #s = 445;1,098; 9,545  -- EDD 5/2 -- Team Pink!
Camila Josephine arrived 4/30 :)

  • I do love the throw back pic!  I'm just bad about figuring out how to scan an old picture to upload - do people still even have scanners?? haha!  Or I guess I could use my phone to take a picture of an old picture...it would just look like a hot mess, I'm sure.

  • Hmm...I worry some people won't participate if we do throw back pic?  There are more votes for it, but I know not a lot of people have responded.  It wouldn't have to be a super old pic, necessarily.  Or maybe another idea would be funny animal costume pics?  I may wait a bit longer to officially call a winner.  I just want something we all have fun with :)

    I dress my pups up every year so they can greet the kids who come to the door.  I love this one.  If we do throw back pic I will probably do a throw back of my pups since I cannot remember the last time I dressed up for halloween.
