It's been a week? Really?

Has it really been a week since I last blogged here? Wow. I'm such a slacker. Had a ton going on around here!

Last week I had a Canon House Party, which was pretty fun. I guess I got the email since I have a Canon digital camera. I decided to fill out the application and mine was one of the 500 chosen. Canon sent me a Selphy CP770 printer and a 36-print refill kit, some scrapbook kits, and some Baby's First Year photo albums. My "job" was to invite people over and use the printer. We did and it was pretty nifty. Anita's photos of her kids were incredible. My sister was unable to come over so I took the printer to her house this past Wednesday and printed some photos my nephew needed for his project at school. It's a neat little printer; it is tiny, very portable and you can purchase a battery pack to make it even more portable. My only complaint is that the prints are almost $1 a piece! Granted, you don't have to go to WalMart/Target/Sam's Club/Walgreens -- but you're likely at those stores anyway. So you can't say the gas plus prints cost more than $1 each. They're good prints, though. Not grainy at all. They look as if they have been printed at a photo lab. (I'm not being paid for this post, by the way - though I did get to keep the printer -- at $1/print I'm not sure how often I'll be buying refills for the printer, though)

Thursday we had Grandparents' Day at Egghead Academy. My parents came over to watch while we did school with EJ. She loved having them here and watching her do school work. I think my parents were pleasantly surprised. It seemed to go really well.

Today was Race for the Cure - almost 46,000 women in downtown Little Rock. I had BabyGuy in the backpack. He flirted like crazy. Then he nursed and napped. Then he went back into the backpack again. He did really well. I think next year I may let EJ and Nin go with us and leave the two littlest ones at home. We'll see! It was a great day celebrating my aunt, who is now a one-year survivor. Yay Bippie!

Okay, I'm totally slapping my head...I completely forgot about the cannon printer party!!!! Please forgive me for being such a dunce. I really wanted to come and try it out. $1 a print does seem like a lot, even with the convenience of printing at home.
