Photo Booth, don't you stop being you.
Photo Booth saved my Spring Break.
I hate school breaks. I understand Winter Break and I understand Spring Break but I still call bull shit on "Mid Winter Break". I use quotes because Mid Winter Break is a sham. A farce. A big pile of crap.
I can accept Spring Break, everyone needs time off and spring is lovely time to get away from Michigan. Michigan in spring is a tease. One day it's 70 degrees and sunny. No bugs, no humidity....life affirmingly perfect. The next seven days you pay for that one glorious day with 6 days of 30 degrees, gray and potential for snow. I understand people need a break from this.
Mid Winter break has no excuse for being.
During Spring Break, though I accept it's purpose, I realize how close we are to summer vacation and so, it angers me. In just a few more weeks I'll be burning daylight with the Bickerson's for 3 months. I dread it. If they made ProzacSummer®, I would take it.
But this Spring Break, the kids found Photo Booth and life was good. Hours of daylight were burned without intervention from me.
Max!
Sleepover with Erin and Chase.
This is Madison inhaling all the oxygen from the room as she often does when she starts talking.
This is our son BlockHead. Please don't stare.
God Bless Technology. And God Bless The Public School System.
That third one with Madison is seriously cool.
And boy, oh, boy. Look at Chase's (is that Chase?) tonsils!
(I'm obsessed with tonsils these days.)

PhotoBooth rocks my world. It's the only thing that my kids love doing together, other than swimming in the pool (come on April. Warm up the pool...). As an added bonus, the results completely creep out my mother-in-law, so I send them to her regularly. Congrats on making it through Spring Break.

Re: Photos 3 and 4 - I told you not to drink the tap water during pregnancy!

Photo Booth is the business - it also works when trying to bond with someone with whom you have a bit of a language barrier. For giving yourself a huge forehead and tiny, tiny lips is funny in any language.

Holy Hilarious. I have got to get myself a Mac.

Awesome. My son got really good at Lego Star Wars over spring break, but this looks way cooler.

I think Prozac Summers should be the name of your hypothetical third child. (Ours is Clonazepam, or Zippy for short.)

hilarious! my kids love it too! they'll even clean up their rooms (without me whining) and do extra chores just so they'll be allowed to do the 'photo thingy' :)

Ah yes, Photobooth! My kids love that and they've saved my sanity a few times while their father has worked the weekends this tax season.

Those are great! Madison's picture reminds me of that scene in Beetlejuice. Mmm, now I am thinking of vintage Alec Baldwin...

Bossy kills time and entertains herself in a similar way. It's called blogging.

Mid-Winter Break? Bah. What is that?
My husband and I just got Macbooks three months ago and we are still obsessed with Photo Booth. It's a staple on our docks. It's rather sad actually.

Mine are addicts too. They fight over it.
