Camera Mishaps

I really have issues lately when it comes to my camera. It seems like whenever I go to a major event I either forget the camera or my batteries die. When Jimmy had his Thanksgiving program at preschool I forgot the camera. Right after the program I realized that I didn't forget it at all it was just at the bottom of my bag. I could have kicked myself for being so stupid. But did I learn my lesson after that? No way!! When Jimmy had his preschool graduation the batteries in my camera died just as he was about to walk out. That's not the end of it. A few days ago we took Jimmy and Ben to the Cleveland Indians baseball game and guess what happened. I took my camera out to take pictures and the stupid batteries were dead AGAIN!!! I never learn!!

Anyway, the game was fun, kind of. We had great seats. We were like 8 rows up on the third base line. Unfortunately I only spent about 20 minutes in my seat. After about 10 minutes into the game Grady Sizemore hit a home run and, naturally, the stadium got really loud after that. Well, that made Ben freak out and get scared so he started crying and wanted to go home. Luckily there is a kids play area so we took him there to play and he seemed to like it. Jim watched the next few innings with Jimmy who was having fun until we were walking out to his car and he realized that he lost his hat. He left it at the play area and by that time Jim and I were so frazzled that we were not about to go back to find it so that kind of made Jimmy sad but he got over it pretty fast.

The Indians won - at least I think they won. I spent most of the time watching Ben ride on the toy cars. But at least we got out of the house and attempted to do something fun with the boys. That's what counts - right!

I don't have any posterity to take pictures of. . . so my pictures are lame by default, and you feel so stupid asking someone else to take a picture of you: "Please sir, I am here at this function all alone, would you mind taking a picture for me so that I can remember this great even that I came to all by myself!" See, doesn't sound that fun huh :)
