The One in Which I Ramble… a lot.

On Thursday when I woke up my computer wasn’t working.  :(  That’s pretty much why I haven’t blogged much this week.  But I have also been kind of lazy and busy.  My computer is at the doctor right now and I’m awaiting prognosis.  I’m hoping for a very simple, quick, inexpensive fix.  I’d settle for getting the contents of my hard drive though.  Thankfully, even in the worst case scenario, I have kept up with backing up all my photos.  Phew!  But I’ll be sad not to have a computer for a while.  I am soooo thankful for my little iPod, on which I can check email and Facebook and Pinterest.  They make me happy.  I’m also thankful my mom let me steal her computer for a couple of days so I could blog and look at things online larger than 2x3 inches. 

Thursday afternoon I got a group of kiddos and their parents/grandparents together so I could snap pictures of us doing Musikgarten lessons.

I want to have some images we can put up on the website and on Facebook and wherever else we want.  It was so fun!  And also absolutely crazy.  Yay!  I’m not posting most of the pictures yet because I simply haven’t had enough time to “process” them.  I still haven’t learned much about editing, but I’d like to at least get them cropped and maybe play with some colors a bit.  But of course I’m waiting on my computer with Photoshop Elements.  If it turns out that it’s dead, I’ll bat my eyes at my mom to see if I can use her machine a little more and load Elements on it.

And then I’ll cry.

I told Matt I didn’t think we would replace our (only 1 1/2 year old) computer right away (if in fact it’s dead) since our money is busy doing other things right now. But then kind of randomly out of nowhere he got a bonus on his last paycheck. Almost a small, computer-sized bonus. So that’s kind of comforting.

But I’ll still cry.

I took a bunch of toys, including all our Little People, up to the church when we did the “photo shoot” to keep those not in the current “class” busy.  The LP were a hit!  And they ended up all in the middle of the living room when we came home.  :)  Normally we don’t have so many out all at once, but I’ve been lazy putting away toys this week… ahem.  And the kiddos are having so much fun playing with them all!

This post was all over the place!  Oh, well.

More to come, but this time I will include some extreme cuteness.  :)
