On Monday Night
On Monday night I took the kids to see the Smurf movie.
The movie, in my humble opinion, was just okay. The kids liked it - which is what matters most when you venture out on a Monday night to see a kids movie.
My favorite part was the photobooth.
The only thing I didn't like is that all the options including graphics - I'd be much happier with the plan old white border without any text or other images.
Come to find out this photobooth also does videos. There's no sound to this video but I really kinda love it.
This was my first experience with a video photobooth. Talk about modern technology. You get a great little photo strip but then you can go home, log onto your computer and see a video of your photobooth session and be able to upload your strip to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc. You can also upload individual images which I thought was cool.
That was fun!!
I love the way Anna was holding onto Simon's chin in the first part and then how he grabbed her sweet, little face and moved it around to face the camera - they are a great little pair :)

such cute photos and love the video!
my girls and i found a similar booth on saturday and i have to agree that i would prefer plain old white border without any text or other images. whe best that I found was a b&w film strip. we were able to watch the video as the photos were printing. so cool!

What a lovely video! Yes, I also like how the kids interact, holding eachother. But what I like most is the anticipation in Simon's eyes when it all just starts...

Simon is adorable! Can I say that about a boy his age?
This would be fun to try with my kids - I'll have to keep an eye out for a photo booth.

Love the video & I think it's so sweet how Anna was cupping Simons chin. They are both just too precious.

I love this photo booth..I hope one comes to my area. I took my teenage boys to the movies and we went in the photo booth to have pics taken and it was quite funny, my boys are 6' 4 and 6'. It was a very tight fit but it worked.

Love the way she is holding on to Simon's chin, especially in the second photo. Too cute.

Love your posts! Love being reminded to keep it simple ... tell the story ... get it documents and down! I am still doing the documentation for my "week" in the life summer edition (lol) Which turned into two and a half because we had friends fly in which accounted for even more important moments. I am so glad you encouraged and orchestrated this event. :)
I love photobooths! My daughter and her best friend do this each summer when they visit each other and do a strip or two each. What a time capsule. They are seniors this year so this set is extra special and I hope they fly to each other next summer to continue the story.
I downloaded a photobooth iphone ap at the beginning of the summer and we've used it a lot! Especially my six year old. He uses it with his friends all the time. Especially when meeting new friends at the park to remember them. I am thankful parents are so easy going about letting him take pictures with their kiddos. We have yet to have anyone say no.
Smurfs:
I love the memories being rekindled from when my siblings were young and obsessed with smurfs. (My sister was a Strawberry Shortcake and My Pretty Pony girl too.) My brother still has the folder and bookmark with a note I wrote inside when he was ten and had just had surgery. I think about all of the trips to the store I made with them on foot to buy them a special item they really "needed" at the drug store and getting a bottled, ice cold Coke from a machine. While I didn't love the smurf movie, I love the stories I can share with my children, niece and nephew from when we were young.
Hugs to you! :)

How lovely is this! Both Anna and Simon have such mobile, lively faces and huge dark eyes ... stunning! (and nice to see you in motion, rather than as a still! :)).

That is so cool! I will have to check out our new photo booth at the theater to see if it has such cool options!
Your kids are way too cute!
