I have a new computer. I received it as a consolation prize for turning forty. My family is not supposed to use it because they know I did my time sharing a keyboard with grubby, nasty, little-kid fingers. They are aware of their unsanitary affliction and usually respect my computer.
And then this:
Followed by a few selfies:
And then they discovered the frog lens.
They even made a video.

However.
This morning, I left my laptop sitting on the couch while I went to sort laundry. While I was sorting, a good song came on my iPod, and what followed was reminiscent of the "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" series. I danced, and while looking in the mirror, realized I should tweeze my eyebrows, which led to trying some new eye shadow tricks which led to me organizing my makeup drawer- and the only reason I'm telling you this is so that the record reflects I was gone a while.
When I came back to my laptop, it was open to Photo Booth.
And there was this:
And then this:
Hmmm.
Then J must've got bored and left, because the next few were of just the girls.

And then they discovered the frog lens.
They really liked this effect.
They even made a video.

One more video. I think what I like about this, besides PG being a goof, is the way Roo giggles through it.

Yep. Weird kids for sure.
After that, PG must've left because this was the last pic on the photo booth reel:

Sticky keyboard aside, I don't think I can get mad at them for this.... do you?











These are so precious. The golden time where, "see how freaky I look" is more important than, "see how hot I look."
ReplyDeleteI adore your chillin's and having known PG since she was a youngin' this suits her mighty fine! If your other two are anything like she is, you have your hands full!! I am not sure how I feel about moving on to three myself....advice?
ReplyDeleteHi Roxanne. Thanks for reading. I have no advice about three-as you know, I thought we were done at two. Roo was a surprise, but of course, with the addition of her beautiful personality, we now know our family is REALLY complete. I think you should do whatever your heart feels. Take care!
