Weekend in Photos + Book Signing.
Tags:
Building train layouts. Seeing if he could connect all the tracks together in one loop from one end to another. This is one of those times where the parent has more fun than the kid.
Playing with the video camera + watching Ratatouille + eating some toast in Chris' home office.
Doing the laundry.
Watching the playback of Simon's at home ABC performance.
Playing with play dough on my table while I worked on the computer. This is one of those toys that had been put away for awhile and came back out on Saturday. He played with it for hours - making little Dora character molds, moving them around, having them "go to sleep" and "wake up time."
Just being thankful for everything we have.
BOOK SIGNING this SATURDAY: I will be doing a book signing this Saturday in Portland at Scrapbook Attack from 1pm-2:30pm. Come by and chat for a bit if you have a chance.
Edited: And hey, want to win a new pair of jeans? Check out my sister's blog today before 5pm Eastern.

I had to laugh at your husband having more fun with the toys - I've been making my DD doll clothes just so I'll be able to change the outfits! Life with kids is full of wonderful opportunities for fun!

Dear Ali,
My biggest photo challenge is garnering up the inspiration to take photos celebrating my life. I usually make albums from scratch and just looking at my collection, at least 15 of them are complete minus the photos. I was raised as an orphan where I spent 19 years living in the LA County foster care system and so documenting my childhood is out of the question. It was all bad and I certainly don’t want to remember that. I have a husband and two children but they resist taking photos. So I enjoy scrapbooking but I dread the photograpy part because I just don't know where to start. Or how to start. Or what moments to capture. However, I desire to record my life so my children who are grown will be able to celebrate our life together. Each evening, I search the blogs of true scrapbookers and admire the photos on their pages while hoping something will sink in so I can create beautiful pages too. It hasn't happened yet...but I'm not giving up...And I keep making these empty scrapbooks:) Thank you for sharing your experiences as a Life Artist; something I hope to achieve in my own life. You're a blessing. Always... Praisley
