So when I have root and home mounted because I am using the computer can I shrink them? No because they are mounted.

The easiest way to resize the root partition is probably to boot from eg Ubuntu live/install USB stick. The home partition you can unmount (but not while non root user sessions are using it).

You need to do it only once (if you didn't do it at install time), not every snapshot.
