Seagate FreeAgent Go (for Mac or Windows): A thin and colorful hard drive with docking station that makes it easy to update and organize your desktop and is the perfect portable solution for your content.

And the randomly drawn winner is…

House full of girls (plus Harrison): Wow, I bet this household can use some digital storage – lots of photos going on I’d imagine. Congratulations to the whole house! I’ll be emailing you soon for your mailing info. I’ll need to hear back within one week, (so our sponsor isn’t waiting) before I draw an alternate. So be sure to check your spam. For some reason b5 emails sometimes go to spam.

Thanks to everyone else who sent in little monsters entries. I’ve run this contest for the last two years, and I’m always surprised by the creative costumes and adorable kids. It’s really fun to see.

Also huge hugs to our great sponsor. It’s always fun to see everyone’s costumes, and we couldn’t have done it without Seagate Technology.  If you didn’t win, be sure to check out the Seagate website. Their digital storage tools are way useful for busy parents and a great deal – especially when you consider the alternative of having to try and replace all your data when your computer crashes.

Thanks for playing!

Here’s our latest crop of adorable entries…

I LOVE this photo. I always wanted a house full of girls. Mama Gina says, “Here’s a photo of all 4 of my little ones on H’ween.  From Left to Right: Elizabeth (5) as Hannah Montana, and she’s holding…. Harrison (8 months) as Squirt from FINDING NEMO; Annie (2) as Tinkerbell is sitting on the table; Katherine (4) as Fancy Nancy is looking off in la-la land. This picture pretty much captures each child’s personality, too!  ” How cute. Harrison is going to have his hands full later with three sisters I’m guessing.

Seriously, what is up with the totally adorable lion babies this year? I think when you put a baby in a lion suit they just get frisky.  Mama Ami says, “Here is the grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat James on his first Halloween.  He was crawling around his jungle . . . the front yard.” Those baby cheeks are to die for!

18 month old Noah’s mama sent in two photos and the next one is absolutely priceless.

LOOK at that expression! Too funny.

And last, but not least… An actual monster-like costume!

Yikes! You can tell it took some planning to get this alien costume up and running. There’s even green in her hair; very cool. I like when people get so creative, it’s way fun.

What next? Well… you’ve still got today to enter the contest (it ends tonight at midnight). Enter, and you might win a Seagate FreeAgent Go.

Mama Jeni notes, “This is a picture of my little dragon Connor. He is a year old!” You know, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a baby as a red dragon before. I LOVE the feet – although, little Connor looks a little unsure of his footing. That expression is priceless!

Mama Kamber has the cutest little bat; don’t you think? Plus double points for sharing nature shots. Too cute. I love bats, in Humboldt we had them all over the place – I don’t see them much in Oregon though.

Mama Kyleen says, “Here is my son, Aidan, who was a lion cub for his first Halloween.  In the second picture, he has a kiss on his cheek for his mommy lion!” He does have a kissable face; I can see why that mama lion got him Awesome pictures.

Mama Holly sent this entry of her little Daisy – and she’s so adorable, not monster-like at all. That’s a-ok with me though. I like the cute kids just as much as the monster kids (don’t you?).

The winner of the Little Monster’s Contest will be awarded the very cool Seagate FreeAgent Go. This handy portable digital storage solution from Seagate can make your life easier if you’re a parent. The FreeAgent Go comes available for PC or Mac and is the thinnest portable hard drive around. For added ease of transport, the FreeAgent Go has a brushed metal finish, that’s durable and lightweight, so packing it in your bag is safe, but won’t weigh you down.

Plus this is one pretty-to-look-at hard drive. It even comes in a variety of colors; red, black and shown below, blue and silver.

Features of the FreeAgent Go includes: 

• Vibrant light display (see those little dots) they light up when your hard drive is in use, and fade during sleep mode – cool.
• Available in up to 500GB which means there’s room for everything you need to store – like 22 hours of home movies or 30,000 photos.
• The docking station eliminates all cords, and the mess that comes with them.
• You can password protect your files and documents.
• Auto backups your data AND can travel to work and then back to home. So, everything, on every computer you own, can be safely protected. If your computer crashes, this hard drive might just save your life (and sanity).
• Saves you money! Do you know how much it can cost to have someone come dig through a broken computer in order to pull up info from your hard drive? Having recently done this I can tell you, it’s a lot – $100 minimum, and that’s getting off easy. Yeah, when my computer died I hadn’t done a back-up in a week – my bad. Don’t be like me. Backing up on the FreeAgent Go will save you cash if something bad happens to your computer.

For busy parents, this can make backing up all your digital info super quick and easy. Which is perfect, because you have other things (um, the kiddos, work, home, life, etc) to think about.
