Week in the Life : Sunday Photos + Words

I just started reading this last night and good timing!!! I'm starting mine today (Monday thru Sunday). I was hoping to use my Rebel and learn as I go, but found that my P&S is a little easier to carry around. I'm getting some fun pictures! And trying to come up with some fun ideas. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Thanks for the great project, can't wait to put it together. I've already started printing my pics. I just emailed you some of my favorites.

I am so glad that I did this challenge. I now understand why I get so tired. We are busy. I knew that already, but when you document everyday it really brings to light how much we do each day. I am really looking forward to putting this altogether. I just hope I can keep up the momentum and get it done. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else is doing.

YAY!!! This was fun - I hope to upload pictures to print during my 2 YO's nap today. . .I have an album I'm planning to use - I need to select one of my monthly club kits to use. . .and I'm set.
Thanks-
Hillary

Hi Ali,
So excited to start the second phase of this project!! I've been getting so much inspiration from you. Love your pictures of your family and home. Hope your feeling well and I hope all your doctors appts went well.

We mark our door frame too. I am always amazed by how much the kids grow. Crazy fast!

I just have read your quote on the left--It is so going into my "week in the life" project.
thanks,

ps.......those muffins look scumptious----I LOVE pumpkin

Ali,
Thanks so much for the fun week of creativity! I did feel a little odd not photographing the morning routine! I think I'm going through camera withdrawl! I have photos from the beginning of the week of Kyle (5 1/2) with his hands over his face because I was taking so many images and by the end of the week he and his brother Dane (4) were fighting over who got to take the next image! I was a wonderful week! I'm anxiously awaiting my American Crafts book and will start choosing images for the cover page! I can't wait to see what you put together!
Pumpkin Muffins....yummy LOVE LOVE LOVE anything with pumpkin! Have a great week!

I love checking out your blog, loving the photos you take everyday. I didn't get a chance to follow along this week, will have to give it a try another week. I'm with the other girls, can you please post your pumpkin muffin recipe..

Just love Simon's silliness, so creative, wish we could all live that way! =)
. . .
Mid-week my family told me I had been doing this for TWO weeks already. Last night they told me it had been THREE weeks. Such abuse!
=)

You've done such a good job getting all this material and keeping your daily schedule. I think this will make your final job (the album) so much easier.

Hi Ali! What is that great toy that Simon was playing with on Sunday? It looks like something my son would love! (Working on lists for Santa, haha!)

Your pictures make me want to:
1) throw away about 1/2 of the stuff in my house so it can be as clean and organized as yours. Your next project should be a week of decluttering and organizing tips.
2) make pumpkin muffins.
3) make a big mug of hot chocolate.
Thanks for sharing your week with us.
I am going to do this in a few weeks.

Would you like some hot chocolate with your marshmellows?

Sunday saw the end of my week too. Really excited about putting everything together, eager to start but at the same time not too sure where to begin. I have some divided page protectors which I plan to use along with 12 x 12 page protectors. Looking forward to seeing your spread to get inspiration and ideas! Thanks for the project Ali. It's been great doing this project in the knowledge that lots of other people all over the world have been documenting their lifes too.

I don't mean to get picky but "Where are you Going" is by Dave Matthews Band, not just Dave.

I just had a thought of how to play with this concept a little more. I am going to try to do a "week in the life" from my son's perspective, and maybe the dog. :)

thanks Ali,
I had a great time doing this. It felt weird this morning to not bring the camera with me. Can't wait to see how yours comes together. I may not get to mine until later in the week. Next few days are crazy busy.

I started today (a day late and a dollar short!), but let me tell you, coming from the point of view as a teacher, getting my students involved is AMAZING already. I shared what I was going to do this week and told them I needed their help to "fill in" my work day. I am so excited to share (the appropriete bits of course) this experience with my students. As a building we are really trying to get the kids more excited about writing. I'm going to use this to start "A Day in the Life" projects in November. What an amazing and inspiring way to make life and teaching real for my students; showing how I am a writer in "real life" and how it doesn't just have to be 5 paragraph explanatory essays!
Oh ya, I'm loving it for myself too-caught the sweetest pic of my 15 month old eatin' his waffle with his ankles crossed in his chair. He always does this, I keep saying "I NEED to get a pic of that!" and today I did. I can't wait to see everyone's projects so I can scraplift some great ideas. Maybe starting a week after you all is a good thing...

Oh boy! My tummy wants to come for a visit -- what with the yum-o hot chocolate and muffins!
