I'm so bummed

So Randy wanted to mulch up the leaves in the yard… So I told him to hold off on doing the leaves in the front yard. I wanted to get the kids’ pictures with the leaves and why not do it before it gets too cold outside? So I exhaustedly piled up the leaves into piles. Cam and I ran through them MANY times before I actually cleaned them up. After Jordan’s nap I put her in a sweet new dress and plopped her in front of the leaves. ADORABLE. She was much more willing to try and eat the leaves than her brother ever was when he was little. I pulled leaves out of her mouth multiple times. Cam came out to play with her — posed a little. But I caught some awesome moments of the two naturally enjoying the day. We played and played (not caught on camera). It was wonderful.

So just when the night was winding down I hooked the digital card into my computer…

And the pictures weren’t there.

They were deleted.

How?

I have no idea. And I’m so bummed. Technology strikes again.

I wanted to share my fun time with the kids with everyone else. And I LOVED the pictures I captured today.

Did I mention how sore I am from raking all those leaves?

What a bummer.

So that’s the update here. The crazy picture-taking mommy lost many sweet pictures. But I’ll tell you what. Now I have an excuse to play in the leaves and take the time to rake instead of use the lawnmower and/or the blower. It’s hard work, but Cam’s smiles are worth it.
