There's an app for that

The kids are loving their new Ipod Touches.


The other night at dinner, I said something that made Dax laugh. The next thing we know, Abigail pushes a button on her Ipod (which is sitting on the table) and the something funny has been followed by the comedic drums ba-dum-bum.

Then when Dax said something else, she responds with a sound effect of wa-wa-waaaaa.

I guess his wasn't as funny?

A few minutes later Addison told a knock knock joke (which I'm pretty sure she just made up) and it was followed by the sound of crickets chirping.

Who knew how much dinner conversation was missing without the sound effects?

They've also been recording us in an app that makes us sound like Alvin & The Chipmunks when it's played back.

It's kind of scary what kind of apps are out there, and how many of them they've discovered already.

It's all in the touch

Well, all four kids have gathered together all the money they could find (birthday, Christmas, selling gift cards to Mom) and they've each purchased and Ipod Touch.


And just like that, every other electronic gadget in the house has become obsolete.


Abigail has spent at least three years bugging us to get her a cell phone. She finally got one for her birthday and the Ipod Touch has her wondering if she even needs the phone anymore (which is why we got pay as you go and didn't sign a contract.)


Yeah, for smart thinking on our part!!


Still, I don't know what it is about it, but 'the touch' is all that matters now.
