Mirabel junkie!

My sister has the ability to post video on her blog. An ability of which I am very jealous. If I had a camera that was not purchased in the dark ages 2001, I could do it too. Unfortunately, the state of the economy is so bleak these days, I guess if forced to choose between feeding my kids or buying a new video camera - the welfare of my children has to trump my jones for nostalgia. Once the stock market goes back up over 10,000 - look out Best Buy -here I come. Of course that will depend on if they are still in business....

I have noted repeatedly that Hailey is not a TV watcher AT ALL! Apparently she has no aversion to a screen - she is just extremely particular about what she watches. She LOVES watching the videos my sister uploads of her little cousin Mirabel. "BelBel" is her favorite thing in this world and she will watch her completely fascinated over and over again. Even Evan likes watching these snippets of his cousin. They have her birthday addition memorized and Evan likes to let everyone know when the "funny" parts are coming up. They talk to the screen as if Mira, Mark and DayDay can hear them. It is almost like they feel like they are peeking across the lake into the windows of their house and watching them go about their day. I love that. I just wish my sister would send me a full length DVD so I wouldn't have to keep restarting the video on the computer. Forty five minutes to an hour would be GREAT!
