Stairway to Freedom

Last Sunday, McKenna and I made Aunt Amy's Chili. (Yes, I cooked.) Patrick was watching football. Both of us thought Bubby was with the other person. I said, "Where's Bubby?" Patrick said, "I thought he was with you." Obviously, we suck as parents. Anyway, after a frenzied dash, we found him playing upstairs in Sissy's room. He figured out how to climb the stairs. Here's some footage of his new talent. Sorry for the quality; my camera's in sad shape. Yes, we now use the baby gate and Bubby only climbs the stairs with adult supervision.


Congrats Team Chack!

Soon to Be 4!




Mandy and Eric are expecting their second child on June 23rd. That makes two babies under 18 months old. Holy Moly!!!!!!! When I told McKenna the news, she said, "Why?" Mandy's probably saying the same thing. LOL! If anyone can handle it, they can. Congrats! I can't wait to be an auntie again.

The Weirdest Conversation Ever

For those of you that haven't figured it out from my crappy Halloween pics, the flash on my camera has died. Or as my husband told me, "Kim, I think your camera's gone tits up." Nice. We Knapps exude class. Anyway, I called Kodak to see if it's fixable and I had the absolute weirdest conversation.



Kodak Guy: Hello, Thanks for calling Kodak, How may I help you?



Me: Yes, the flash on my camera is not functioning and I was wondering how to fix it?



Kodak Guy: Yes, if you send it into the camera hospital, we probably can resuscitate it, or mail you a coupon for 15% off of a new camera.



Me: (What?! Hospital? resuscitate? A camera? New one?) Sir, I'm sorry but I need to have my camera, there are people counting on my pictures. Plus, I'm poor and can't afford a new one.



Kodak Man: I understand, mam. But our cameras are reasonable and of the highest quality.



Me: Sir, I'm a teacher with two small children. I can't afford a new one.



Kodak Man: Yes, well some people have been able to afford our products by giving up their favorite coffee beverage for a month. Well worth a new camera.



Me:(What!!!!! Give up my favorite coffee beverage?) Sir, I'm a teacher, I need my favorite coffee beverage. Thanks for your help. I'll see what else I can do.



Kodak Man: Thank you. We appreciate your business.



Me: (Yeah, but not enough to let me keep my favorite coffee beverage.)



Help, if anyone knows how to fix the flash on an Easyshare camera, let me know.
