A trip to the photobooth






I love my new macbook that Matt got me for Christmas.  I use it much more than I think he ever thought possible.  One fun program that comes with the computer is called Photo Booth.  You can do all kinds of fun things with the little build in camera.  One day last week while Nora was sleeping, I took the time to play around a bit.  I have to say, I laughed at myself for a LONG time!  I then shared with my family and we laughed even more.  Here are a few examples of my fun...

Easter Humbug?

At this time of year, people start getting ready for the Easter Bunny.  I was just talking to my husband about this last night.  I want to not be home on Easter to go travel with my mom and he said that was fine.  I said, "don't you want to be there when your girls find their baskets from the Easter Bunny?"  His response -- and let me tell you, I was shocked.  After 11 1/2 years of marriage we had NEVER had this discussion -- was that when he was growing up, the Easter Bunny never visited him.  His family always decorated eggs for FHE the Monday before and on Easter, he got a chocolate bunny and some jelly beans from his mom and dad, but not basket from the Easter Bunny.  He said that he always thought that my family's tradition with the Easter Bunny was weird.  We usually got candy and a new church outfit or something like that.  We always had the same baskets, year after year, and we LOVED it.  I have to say I laughed for a LONG TIME, seeing as after 11 Easters together, he had never said anything before.  I guess now is the time to decide what we will do for the next 20 years or so for our kids.  Any thoughts?
