Not really.
We told Mister and Sister the new baby’s name, and one of them can’t say it very well. This is hilarious!
Every time she says carrots, I can’t help but laugh! I’ve been telling her, “It’s a baby, not a vegetable.” LOL
As you know, I rarely (if ever) use Mister or Sister’s given names in my web posts, because I want them to be able to create their own digital footprint at the appropriate time. I am trying to think of a nickname for baby online, and am coming up blank.
Suggestions?
I just had to share the card Hubs gave me for Valentine’s Day.
Love. That. Man.
I could have just as easily titled this, “Confessions of an easily distracted Mom…”
If you give a mom a coffee cup, chances are, she’ll want some coffee to go in it.
She’ll go to pour a cup of coffee and realize that the coffee pot is empty.
She’ll turn on the faucet, to get water to brew fresh coffee, and realize she no longer hears the washer running.
She’ll turn off the faucet and go to switch the laundry.
As she is switching the laundry, she’ll realize there isn’t enough laundry to fill the washer.
She’ll ask the youngest child to bring her laundry basket in.
Then she’ll hear a cry from the youngest child’s room.
She’ll enter the youngest child’s room to see the laundry basket tipped and laundry on the floor.
She’ll pick up the laundry and find a magazine on the floor.
She’ll pick up the magazine and show it to the youngest child.
The youngest child will set the magazine on the bed, and Mom will realize the bed is unmade.
She’ll make the bed and notice a pair of socks on the floor.
She’ll pick up the socks and remember she was switching laundry loads.
She’ll take the laundry in and put it it in the washer.
As she is adding detergent to the washer, she’ll pour some on her fingers.
After starting the washer, she’ll go to the sink to wash her hands.
When she turns on the faucet, she’ll realize there are dishes to be rinsed.
As she rinses the dishes, she’ll see her coffee cup next to the coffee pot.
And chances are, when she sees her coffee cup, she’ll want some coffee to go in it.
And she’ll realize she never started the pot of fresh coffee.
:::le sigh::
Are you easily distracted, too?
I couldn’t resist taking this picture of Hubs when he used the hand sanitizer at the hospital, and it sprayed white foam all over his Ghostbusters t-shirt.
I laughed so hard I cried, because it looked like he had ghost guts on his shirt! The only thing that would have made it funnier would have been if Mister had slimed his shirt green with snot.
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
An ELPH picked my pocket! Right after another ELPH swan dived from it.
When we went to the charity golf tournament, to benefit the NFED, I had my Canon ELPH in my back pocket. HA HA. I had an ELPH in my pocket. At some point, I sat down and the camera swan dived out of my back pocket and crashed to the ground. Mind you, this was not the first time I had dropped it. Nay. I am a klutz like that.
This particular swan dive, however, was less than graceful and the ELPH protested such abuse. Loudly. He started making this funky clicky whirry noise anytime I turned it on. He still took pictures, and I was able to get some great photos at the golf course! Did you see my Growth by the Golf Flag, my Future Pro Golfer, or my A Good Daddy post? The golf photos (for this year) were taken after the swan dive! However, I was petrified that he was going to suddenly clam up and stop working the instant before a great photo op presented itself, and rather than being able to forever immortalize the image, I would forever lament the death of my camera at precisely the WRONG moment.
The thought of not having a functioning camera to capture all of life’s moments nearly had me in a panic. That would be like life without coffee… unthinkable!
SO, I had to buy a new point and shoot.
This is the Canon ELPH SD940 IS that took the swan dive. He was so faithful, until that last swan dive.
This is the Canon ELPH 110 HS that picked my pocket.
I’ve been wanting to get a new camera for a while now. By new camera, I mean a new DSLR. I have an old Canon Rebel. By old, I mean 6 megapixels. Prehistoric, right? We bought it before we got married, and then had my brother (who has photography experience) shoot our wedding with it. It was a lot cheaper than paying a professional photographer, and we got to KEEP the camera. SCORE.
As I said, my DSRL is old. I’ve been saving and hem hawing about getting a new one. I couldn’t decide between getting another Canon DSLR or getting a Nikon DSLR. I’ve read a ton of reviews, and just couldn’t make up my mind.
The purchase of a new DSLR is being put off even further now, since this ELPH stole my cash! Perhaps a different ELF will bring me a DSLR for Christmas if I stay on the nice list.
What are you shooting with?
