Pilly Sictures

Our blue, 8 mpx Kodak EasyShare camera finally bit the dust early this summer after one too many drops, kicks and bounces from the kids. It still took pictures, but the LCD screen didn't work and the video was corrupt. After four months of winging it, the business picked up the tab for a new camera. Thankfully I was able to get an amazing camera for a steal at Wal*Mart during their camera reset -- thank you clearance! As soon as we got home the kids all wanted to see mom's new toy and spent the next solid hour making faces for the camera. It was such a fun afternoon. The lighting in our uber dark living room was perfect and the kids were hysterical. I took 136 pictures and loved 'em. When Walgreens had their free photobook give away, I had these pictures made into a book with some of my favorite Shel Silverstein poems about kids. Right now the kids and I are reading "Runny Babbit," a collection of poems with mixed up first letters. I thought it was fitting to title our picture book "Pilly Sictures" instead of Silly Pictures. The kids loved it.
