I love this project.
The simple act of remembering to have your camera on hand results in some of the best, most unexpected photos.
I took a ton of shots (more on Saturday compared to Sunday).
For my project this time I decided to do a large digital gathering of 3 inch x 3 inch cropped photos to showcase the weekend. I like seeing all the individual parts of our weekend brought together to create the whole. I will be uploading this today for printing along with most of the photos (scrapbookpictures.com). I have a bunch of specific stories in mind to tell once I get them back from the developer.
Here's a few of my favorite individual shots:

If you played along this weekend feel free to leave a link to your blog or project in the comments. I hope you enjoyed the process.
I would love to see how you chose to document the weekend.
Happy Monday!

Loving the shot of you reading to Anna. Being the photographer of the family like me i wonder how often you find yourself actually in the picture. My new baby boy is 14 weeks and i must literally have one or two pics of me AND him. MUST get someone to take some pics of me!!!!
Carrying on inspiring girlie!

Hi Ali,
Maybe you answered this already, but are you printing your photo collage out as 12x12 photos?
Thanks for the idea!

I can't believe how fast she's growing & I love that in the bubble shot, Simon appears to be about to lose the trunks!

I love the pictures. I take a ton of pictures of my kids and husband but there are very few of me. Or taken with my eyes shut or my mouth open ;0)
Any tips on how to have more pictures of me?

I followed your challenge, as in the fall with your Week In The Life project. It was interesting to document what we do on a weekend! I am busy working with my photos and will post soon on my blog (http:seriousplay.typepad.com) the finished product. Thanks for the inspiration, Ali!

I had a great time documenting my "week in the life," so I was excited to document the weekend. What a great weekend to pick--so sunny and happy. I posted a bunch of pictures on my blog. Mulling a minibook to house them all.

Timing is everything and I loaned my camera to my son last week! Guess I'll have to wait for another time.
I love, love, LOVE your photos!

great photos, and I must agree with Cathy -- you look amazing! I'm reluctant to turn the camera on myself these days, but it's certainly a good motivator.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to blog reading until Saturday afternoon. I loved your idea! I can't wait to see what you do with this project.
