New Camera

As you all may know (or maybe not), I needed a new camera. I've been complaining about my digital camera for years, and I know for sure that Lee was tired about hearing about it. Truth be told, I was tired about complaining about it. So, I decided to save my money, and along with some gift certificates I finally got my new camera in January. It's a Sony digital SLR, and I love it. I haven't gotten to play with it as much as I would like, but I think when we finally make it to Spring it's going to get a workout. Winter just isn't very inspiring as this time of year. But, I had to play with it as soon as I got it charged, so here are some pictures. :)

Another Round of Sofia-isms

"What is making that terrible noise? It's just terrible." ~~ Sofia when she heard Jedd's car running earlier.

Driving to my parents' house last week, my Mom asked Sofia, "Do you see that squirrel running to the crick?" Sofia: "Yes. What's he doing?" Mom: "Probably going to find something to eat." Sofia: "He's probably going to chuck wood." Mom: "He is?" Sofia: "Yeah. He thinks he's a beaver." :)

Last night Sofia was playing with some old My Little Ponies, and Jessie asked her, "Sofia, what do call a flying horse?". Sofia responded with, "A miracle."

Sofia told me on the way home that the moon was moving (NOT the clouds), and that it was following us home. I tried to argue the point with scientific facts that state otherwise, but it turned out to be futile. She told me, "SHE Knows!". So eat that Galileo.

After giving Sofia a piece of toast this morning she said, "I don't like the crust", as she started picking it off. I said, "But, you like pizza crust don't you?". She replied, "Yes I do." Me: "Well what's the difference?". Sofia: "Toast crust is disgusting." ~~ She must really not like it because I found toast crust shoved into the car door ashtray yesterday.

At the football game while the crowd is yelling, "Go Defense", she yells, "Go Basement!!". I said, "Do you mean Go Defense?". She replies, "Oh, yeah. Go Defense!".

At Sammy's later on, my Dad tells her that the pizza part of pizza is way better than the crust. She replies, "No, I don't think that's right."

Sofia: Mommy! Don't slam those doors! (meaning car doors) Me: Why not? Sofia: Because. They're good doors.

"I've gotta go potty, then I'll finish my song. See you in a minute." ~~ Sofia

I have found out that Sofia thinks I have no idea what I'm talking about...ever. Every time I explained something to her this morning, I was answered with a, "Oh Mom. Silly Mommy." Basically it was a 3-year old telling me I'm a little slow, but she loves me anyway. Nice.

was told this morning by Sofia that pumpkins aren't for eating, they're for decoration and looking at. And jack 'o lanterns too, scary ones.

I told Sofia that I signed her up for preschool, and she was so excited. Then she got sad really sudden, so I asked her why. Her reply, "Because I'm sick. I don't want to get all my friends sick too." I reassured her that she had a month yet to recover. Still pretty sweet of her though.

Sofia: Mommy! See that white car over there? Me: I see it. Sofia: Yeah, I used to drive a white car.

Pics went great, but later on Sofia reprimanded me (yelled at me) for calling people stupid (people that cut me off). According to her, people don't like being called stupid, and it makes them mad. What a humanitarian.

Earlier today, Sofia told me my toast popping skills were "amazing!", then she walked outside and greeted my cat with a "Good morning, Murray!". Yep, she does make me smile.

Before we left my parents' tonight, I told Sofia that it was really hot outside. As we're walking out the door, the heat hits Sofia, and she says, "Oh! The sun is killing me!"

"Okay, Mommy, pwess the "A" button. There you go. Now, let it go. There you go. Now you'll hit some pins. Okay, Mommy, try again." ~~ Sofia, teaching me the fine art of Wii bowling.
