Camera down, camera down, somebody call for help

Yes that is right, the camera is down AGAIN! Both times have been my fault totally. This latest faux pas occurred when Piper got the camera out of my diaper bag, I had brought it along because I have been horrible at uploading and was finally getting on the ball again and taking it with me, at the doctor’s office. She was taking photos and Lela wanted to take photos, I was trying to facilitate a compromise while Landis was on the exam table and the doctor was talking to me about her Rosela. Apparently I failed on all accounts because Piper dropped the camera and it broke, Lela did not get to take any photos and well I guess Landis survived and is cured so chalk that one up to luck. So you will all have to wait a while until I get ANOTHER new camera. This time I think I won’t get one with such a good zoom lens because that is what always gets broken, or maybe one with a good zoom but not a lens that comes out 2 inches (which is apparently too much lens for me to handle). Sigh…if it ain’t one thing its another.

Clumsy

Clumsy…..that is what Piper has been lately. I don’t have any confirmation but I suspect she is in a growth spurt. We have not made it through one day this week where she has not fallen, run in to something or banged her hands on something. Either she is growing or she needs glasses (which is a possibility). I suppose I will keep watching her and see, I could measure her too but that sounds like so much work, LOL!

Day two of school went well, they really seem to like going. This is the first class we have taken where they don’t beg me not to take them 3 hours before we go. The teacher, Ms. Maria, is really nice and they seem to have fun. Today they colored pictures and made apples with glitter leaves….what’s with the glitter (it is such a pain cuz it ends up everywhere:). Anyway, stay tuned for more tales of bonked noggins or googley eyes:)
