Ethan told me that for Mother's day I could use my paycheck to buy something for me instead of putting it in the black hole we call our checking account. I decided on a camera. I found this one that retails for 299.oo on sale for 199.00 at Office Depot. Plus it comes with a free 4gb SDHC card AND a camera case. The reviews on amazon seemed pretty good so I loaded up my 3 youngest punks and off to Office Depot we went. I found it right off the bat. My kids found the ipod display right off the bat. After having Leif point out an "ipone" to me (how the heck does he know what an iphone is???) and knocking several hundred cases to the ground, I rounded them up and went to check out. The total with a protection plan (which the cashier kindly pointed out I desperately needed with children....especially my children who were running in and out the automatic doors trying to squish each other!) came to 248.99. I think I threw up a little. That is 1.01 less than my whole 2 weeks of insanity. I am (of course) strongly considering returning it but need your help.
(The pictures are just showing up in any old order.....I clearly need blogging lessons!)
The first picture is taken with my 6 year old camera.
The 2nd picture was taken with the new camera. (Why, yes, my baby is wearing a Halloween costume for pajamas. Why do you ask?)
Is it worth keeping?
the camera is pretty good and you will never have the chance again to get pictures of Leif in his Halloween PJs again, so I think you should swallow hard and keep it! If you were asking if you should keep the boy DEFINATELY!
ReplyDeleteKeep it. Definately (the camera not the boy, but he is pretty cute so maybe keep him too). I have a great way for you to make up the difference. Imagine this....you and me....wait for it...cleaning...wait for it..cleaning Adam's apartment!! How fun will that be. Bring your new camera and we can take pictures!!
