Our faithful (and free) computer finally died this month, which I could use as an excuse for not posting, but I shouldn't. Because it died on a Monday and was replaced that Wednesday. We purchased a new iMac and LOVE IT. It's a desktop (hard to remember I can't just pop off to the coffee shop to download big files) but it's so COOL. Wireless keyboard that is the thickness of a credit card (maybe a tiny bit thicker but still pretty thin). Gigantic screen. We haven't had a new computer in a long time so the technology is pretty amazing.
We haven't had it long enough to buy kid software, but the kids discovered a program that came installed on the computer called "Photo Booth". Basically, it uses the teeny little computer camera and allows you to take pictures of yourself with funny special effects added in. Here is one of my favorites.
The kids (especially Ivy) have also enjoyed making little vignettes from their Photo Booth projects, and Ivy already knows more about the different editing programs (maybe iMovie?) we have available. She adds sound effects and captions, pretty cute stuff.
I suddenly noticed the time. I really will update this blog again soon.
