Why Not

Some of my friends have asked if I have gotten a new camera yet.

Nope:(

Danielle told me I should put a "chip in" link on my blog, so I did.

It's in the upper right of my blog and at the end of this post. The end date is my birthday b/c I'm hoping to get one before that. (WAY before that.)

I know this isn't important and I hesitate doing it, but know it's all in fun.

I know this isn't like saving up for an adoption or because I lost my income.

It's more like people who try to get donations for cosmetic surgery.

But still, Why Not?!

Somebody might feel generous and might paypal me a dollar or two.

I already got a donation! Dr. Brayer gave me a visa gift card to put towards it. She said she wanted to get me a gift for being the PCDHA president. Maybe it does pay to volunteer after all, that was unexpected!

SO, I wish I were saving for a nice professional camera by now, but I'm saving for a regular point and shoot waterproof one. I found one for $199 at Costco, $160 at Sam's Club, and a pretty pink one on Amazon.com for $170. I'm just looking for exactly what I had. I was content with it being in my back pocket. I think I'll put one of those zip line thingies on it that people have for name badges and security tags or keys. SOMETHING.

I promise not to leave my purse dangling on a stroller like because that's too tempting on Christmas Eve at the mall.

I promise not to put my camera in the side bottle-holder on the diaper bag, especially at home opener Rays games.

I Promise I'll be responsible.

And I'll continue to take pictures of my kids because for some reason I assume that everybody wants to know way too much about my little cuties.

I'll also take pictures of my friends' kids, just snap shots, but still. Here are some I just gave to Bonnie for her birthday. Clearly not professional, but they made nice wallets. She didn't have recent pictures of her kids in her wallet- just recent ones of my kids:) Can you imagine?! So I was able to sneak quick pictures of her 3 handsome boys individually over a 3 month period.

Anyway, I found a reason to post these pictures of Dylan's favorite "big boys."
