Katy's Fake 10th Birthday Party

The title says it all! Last night we had a birthday celebration of sorts. Yesterday about mid morning Katy decided that it was a good day to have her Fake 10th Birthday(if you are having a fake birthday who says it has to be in order!). So we made decorations out of construction paper, stickers, and left over ribbon from Christmas. We baked a birthday cake, strawberry cake with buttercream icing. Invited friends over, this is important because when hosting a fake birthday party the guest list is crucial, you need to invite friends who would go along with the idea. So, She placed a call after school to the Shanahans', they do anything for cake and ice cream! So promptly at 7pm her guest started arriving, bring of course with them fake presents. A ball made of newspaper and fake money in the card. Katy absolutely loved it. There was singing and dancing, even Limbo! By 8:30 everyone was partied out, after all it was a school night. So the next morning I pick up her ball made of newspaper and started to throw it away, and was met with a panicked squeal and a "How could you?" That is my birthday present!

This experience has made me realize it is time for a digital camera! I didn't have film in the house so I didn't get one single picture to have of Katy blowing out candles after everyone sang to her. I asked, begged and pleated my case to Malcolm for a digital camera and made promises I hope he forgets about but he did give in. I really want a digital slr....So it is official I am now shopping for a camera. So I am open for kinds of suggestions.

I HAVE A CONFESSION!!

I always try to be cool and act like I know what everyone is talking about when there is a discussion, I will recite facts I have learned while browsing on Amazon but the cold hard facts are I know nothing about digital cameras!!! I still use my film slr and take the rolls to Target and have them put on photo disc. Then when I get ready to scrapbook I go and use the Kodak picture machine thing and make the pictures I am going to use. Why am I confessing.... Because it is the reason behind I post so little on my blog. I have no pictures. I just took 19 rolls of film to Target to get put on the disc so when they come back maybe I will let you know about our holidays. I was thinking today I really want a digital slr camera, I just love my film one I have had since MG was a baby. In fact one time I was asked, how come I still use it. It is because I know how, I know when I take a picture it will come out. The few times I have grabbed Malcolm's digital, my pictures don't always turn out and I miss the moment and think if I had my camera I would of gotten that shot! I think I am going to look into taking a class about digital photography at the community college. Then packed with knowledge I can answer with a 100% certainty, I want a digital slr for any of this years present giving celebration I might encounter.
