camera crappers, party, and snow






Friday evening I was taking pictures of various items around the house for the scavenger hunt on Saturday (Aliza's b-day party). As I was about to snap the pic of the changing table in the office, the camera slipped out of my hand and crashed to the floor. After a choice 4-letter word, I bent down to pick it up. The lens cover wouldn't close, nor would the zoom, and the picture on the screen was a big blurry blop. (sigh) Yeah, I totally busted our camera :( How frustrating, especially on the heels of our gps dying. Well, its not totally dead, but I prefer seeing a whole screen when I'm getting directions and not a clear half, with a majorly fuzzy half. Darn electronics. Of course, we still have the random issues with our tv too. We'll just be sitting there watching and all of a sudden - black screen. It just turns off. We have to unplug it, wait a couple seconds, then replug. Annoying, but at least manageable... if I'm finding positives ;) So, we ended up getting a new camera yesterday, just in time for the party. Oh, and you'll love this - I took ONE picture of her party. Her first friend party and I have ONE picture to show for it. Lovely. The kids had a lot of fun. We did the scavenger hunt, turn shifts sending the kids out to the bounce house in the garage, and did tatoos too. What's a four-year old party without tatoos :) A good time was had by all!

I've included the ONE party picture as well as some snow shots. (We can usually walk under the tree branches- in the pic- that are laying on the ground!) We got over a foot in about 6 hours last week! It was crazy. Its still weird to drive around and see so much snow all over. We've still got a good 8 inches on the roof. I hope it holds...

Oh yeah, in other news, Eben lost another tooth. I figured after the bottom two, he'd lose the top two, but no - it was another bottom one. I think the adult teeth were pushing those little ones out. Right now he still has 3 loose teeth. Good times :)
