16 OCTOBER 2007
So we decided to get a new camera. Don’t worry, I still have my ginormous beast of a camera that I use for professional stuff. However, I was starting to dread having to lug that thing around everywhere or found myself “forgetting” to bring my camera to events. Now we’ve got a handy point and shoot that also doubles as our camcorder. Our camcorder decided to not work well over a year ago, and Mike’s little P&S chooses not to record video anymore. Rather than buy a new camcorder that would hardly get used, I decided we should just invest in a nice P&S with the video option. The one we decided on is the Canon Powershot 950IS. The camera boasts a whopping 12.1 megapixels which is more than my pro camera. I was suprised to see that each picture was 8 MB. I’m going to lower the resolution because I will never need to print anything bigger than 8×10 (if even that big) from this camera. Without further ado, here’s a sample video from the new digicam. While watching a movie, I noticed that my camera was done charging and Mike was alseep…what better time to film a “movie”. I just got the biggest kick out of the look on his face at one point during the video. Enjoy!

On Saturday the Guises made a suprise appearance to return our long, lost coolers. The girls and I were away at a birthday party, but we all went out to dinner upon our return. The restuarant we went to is a great place that has a fun, general store with tons of toys, games, gag gifts, and much more. {Unfortunately, on this particular night the service was not so great and left a bad impression with the Guises:( I hope they will believe us when I say that this was very unusual. Gina is not afraid to speak her mind to service staff and made sure to let the waitress know that we were not happy. I was hiding under the table though…yes, I’m a big ol’ wimp.) Of course, the kids always have to make a stop in there every time we go. We gave in and purchased a couple of items including a potholder weaving kit and a couple of sets of fake moustaches (don’t ask). Once Annie got wind of the potholder kit she asked over and over when we’d get to make potholders. It was on Sunday (a whole day later, can you imagine) that we finally got a chance to sit down and make a potholder. Annie actually got the hang of the process and got 2/3 of the way through before handing it over to me to finish off. Mimi lost interest after the first couple of weaves. She was very intrigued by the instruction booklet though. That thing didn’t leave her hands for most of the day.
The girls got new dresses for church. I couldn’t resist snapping some shots while they were wearing them. Please don’t let them grow up because they are just so scrumptious right now.
Have a wonderful rest of the week!
