Picture This

My camera is broken.  I really wish it wasn't because there have been some crazy photo ops this week.  One day Joshua took all the clothes out of Lucas' closet and tried to put them all on. He got about 5 shirts piled on his shoulders.  And that was after he unfolded my whole pile of laundry and put all the underwear on his arms.  A couple days ago Lucas put a big cardboard box on its side and put pillows and blankets inside.  Then he and the 2 little boys climbed inside and "read" books.  It was so precious.  Yesterday I caught the twins sitting on the counter by the microwave with carrots sticking out of their mouths.  They were having a lovely chat and snack together.  (They are always on the counter these days.  In fact I think they are there right now and I should be getting them down instead of writing in here. Thank goodness for older siblings.)  This morning Joshua put an empty cereal box on his head like a hat so I had to find one for Joseph too and then they both put on a pair of my shoes and clomped around the house for a while.  Then this afternoon they sat in the opening of their cardboard box house, each holding a bowl of Cheetos Puffs, eating and chatting until their fingers and faces were covered in orange Cheetos mystery matter and the entire bag of Puffs was gone.  So, I really wish my camera wasn't broken but unfortunately the subjects of most of those pictures are the cause of the break in the first place.  Those two little angels are going to be the death of me!

  2. I think I found a good camera for you, http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-Stylus-8010-Digital-Camera/dp/B003NAO98I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1296096759&sr=8-3

    You can drop it from over 6 feet, shoot pictures under 33 feet of water and put more than 200lbs of pressure on it. I think you could get a few weeks of pictures on this one before the twins found a weakness.
