I’m a Rebel now

This past football season, I had the pleasure of competing in a fantasy football with a bunch of fellow bloggers. I’m too lazy to link to them all but I did enjoy taking BIYF’s, Sarah’s, Metro’s, Kemp’s and Croutonboy’s money at the end of the season. Yes, I backed into the playoffs and then trounced everyone in my path on the way to the championship.

The reason I tell you this (besides pissing Tony, Sarah and Alan off) is that I decided to treat myself to a new toy with my recent windfall.

Anyone who has toddlers will tell you that keeping up with them is quite a challenge. With twins, this is doubly true. I have many photos with either Swee’Pea or TheMonk halfway out of the frame or gone altogether. This has been frustrating me to no end. I needed a faster camera.

So, yesterday I went out and purchased a Canon Rebel XT. It’s 3 photos per second speed and it’s 8 megapixel photos kick butt. I may never set the camera down.

I still have a bunch of photos from the old 3 megapixel camera that I’ll need to upload to flickr this week but soon you’ll be seeing Swee’Pea and TheMonk like you’ve never seen them before.

2. I am completely jealous! I want one so bad, but since I just bought a camera in March of last year (Just a sony H1), my husband is saying no way to my new camera purchase. Sigh… Let me go stew in my jealousy!

3. Turning green over here… why must everyone else have a better camera than I do???

   The kids are even cuter in 8 megapixels.
