Cautiously Optimistic



Today I had a bobbing planet on the bottom of my screen with some Apple updates and I noticed that two were related to iPhoto.  I figured... hey... why not download them and see if it miraculously resolves my problem (one of them had Camera Raw in the title so I had my fingers crossed).  Lo and behold I have been able to upload the photos from my 4MB card that I have been dying to load and I took a few more pictures to be sure it wasn't a card issue and it loaded again!!!! It's an iPhoto miracle!!!  I still need to do the whole song and dance of transferring Halloween pictures from my downstairs computer to my Mac and edit them but here are some of my pictures from October 31st...

First I had to get to the school for the Halloween Parade.  It was a really long wait before kids in costumes came along.  But that's okay.  It gave me time to take in the pre-parade show...


My pictures are better... no MY pictures are better!!!

Some parade observers were more awake than others...(I'm referring to the little guy only!!)

Some parade observers even dressed up in costumes themselves...


And some were still looking at their pictures 10 minutes later.... (gotcha ladies hahahahaha!!!!)

Due to the poor lighting I won't show you my parade photos... they're shameful.  Instead we'll move along to later in the day when I helped out in my 8 year old's class party.

I'm not quite sure about these expressions my neighbor has on his face during the pictionary game.  Perhaps he was hoping to be picked and wasn't or perhaps he was just being silly with his friend next to him.  Anyways,  I took these during the haunted pictionary game...


 

Later that day my 3 and 4 year-old and I went to pick the older boys up from school.








The big boys looked great in their costumes and had a blast at school at their parties and celebrating Halloween.  Now if I can just get through Christmas......




Well, all I can say is I hope that from now on I have no more camera/computer problems.  I know I take a lot of pictures but I realized over the past week how much I rely on my camera and my computer synching perfectly!!!!  My fingers are crossed!!!

I'm so glad you got your computer problems figured out. Looking at those pictures makes me realize how badly I need to get my hair cut and colored. I really like the red tree picture.

I feel the same way about myself Sara. I also LOVE the picture with the red leaves. Nice job Robin! I'm glad I could make you laugh! I almost took the "eh" off of my blog list because I thought I was being really geeky but now I am going to keep it for you! Thanks for capturing such a beautiful picture of me at the Halloween parade. YA RIGHT!

I love the picture of the red trees also, but I REALLY love the picture of the boys hugging! You are getting really good.
