Missing Camera

I was going to post some pictures like everyone else's blogs, but I can't find my camera. I don't know what's wrong with me and electronics, but I'm always losing or breaking my cellphone and can't find my camera or the battery is dead of I can't find the charger. My mom bought me a new camera for Mother's Day and I haven't been able to find the charger since the first day I charged it, so I can't use it and then I can't find my old camera . . . what a dork.

We went to see the Harry Potter movie last night and OMG! Two tickets to the show were $19.50! Holy smokes! The last movie we saw at the theatre was the last Harry Potter movie, so I guess we don't get out much. I've turned into some sort of Amish/Palisade woman - I never leave my farm/Palisade so when I get out in society, I'm shocked and horrified. There were people at the movie last night with 3 year olds . . . argh! This was a 153 minute movie that began at 7 and ended at 9:45. My children have NEVER sit still for that long in their lives, unless they were strapped into a car seat or sleeping. And the kids in the theatre were pretty quiet, too. Not that I was impressed, I was definitely on the shocked and horrified side.

Two weeks ago, we went into town with mom so that I could go to my midwife appointment and mom wanted to go by Sam's club. The girls were in awe. As soon as we walked in there are these huge big screen TV's and as we walk by, Francesca is like, "MOM! I'm watching TV! My brain is melting!" haha - Meanwhile, I'm thinking . . . who buys all this stuff? We are so blissfully sheltered here in Palisade.

We went to the farmer's market yesterday and bought a beautiful lavender bouquet from Paola. She is so impressive and she always looks so elegant. Anyway, the Farmer's Market is so neat. Its only one block and its all produce and locally made schwag like wooden bowls and stuff. We can get pretty much get everything we need right here now - hence, no need to leave my compound. Pictures tomorrow - I swear!

The girls spent the night up at Granny's last night for the first time. Francesca has done it before, but this was Cecilia's first time and the first time they both did at once. Mom said that as they were going to bed, they started talking about the Sandman and then Francesca started squirming around (which she does to keep herself awake) and then she says, "The Sandman is making me all itchy!" and Granny says, "That's because you're squirming all around, you have to be still and relax." So she did and fell right asleep.
