Here’s my first attempt at recording video with my new camera a few weeks ago. I thought you might enjoy watching the boys painting pumpkins (while I get up enough nerve to record myself doing something heavenly homemake-y on film for you). At least I know that the Grandma and aunts and cousins who read my blog will enjoy watching the boys!
A few disclaimers:
1. I didn’t know what I was doing when I took this. It was an experiment. You’ll notice that.
2. I haven’t learned how to edit yet. You’ll notice that.
3. You can hear my voice way better than the boys’ voices. I annoyed myself while I was watching it.
4. I talk way too much during the clip. I annoyed myself while I was watching it.
5. For some reason I decided to video a couple of the trees in our front yard while the boys were painting. If while you’re watching you see the video go from boys to trees…and you think, “wow, that was random”…you’ll be right.
6. The boys are wearing Matt’s old t-shirts for their paint shirts and they fit like dresses. You’ll notice that.
7. The reason I didn’t want to get Justus a paper plate was because I didn’t know how to stop the recording (watch video for this to make sense).

Wow…the leaves on the trees were all still green just a few weeks ago. Now they’re all turning colors and falling off! Amazing!
Well, that was fun. Now what should I record?

those are great pumpkins, they should be entered in a contest!

Your boys are precious!
I didn’t think U talked too much! I thought you sounded like a sweet little mommie!
My dd watched this with me and she said…the wind is blowing! I told her that I thought the noise was cars and she said ‘No, look at the ground.’ :-)
You did a great job! They look like they had a great time painting! I don’t think you talked too much either.
Lil Major got all excited when he saw his buddy Malachi on video! Now he’s trying to help me type. =)
You did a very good job! Looking foward to a homemaker video!
Do you use the pumkins after halloween? Is that why you paint them? What type of paints do you use?
Sooo cute. I love that Justus named his pumpkin George.
I didn’t think you talked to much either…and I think its exciting to hear your voice!!!!
How exciting to have videos!!
