NUMBER OF PHOTOS FOR THURSDAY | around 70
One of the things I wanted to do today was go around the house and take some shots of stuff.
Why? Because those are some of the sorts of photos I'd like to see from when I was a kid. How cool would it be to have a shot of my whole bedroom, or a shot of what I had on my own bookshelf or be able to see what was in my own closet or chest of drawers (Simon actually uses the same chest of drawers in his closet that held my clothes as a kid). This peripheral stuff from our everyday (like closets and dishes) are the kind of content that can be added to any day this week where you might have a few less photos (and are also great for Project Life too). I've always loved seeing a combination of up-close and far away shots that showcase the environments in which we spend so much of our time.
Follow up from Wednesday: Anna was feeling better today and we've got a make-up appointment for Simon with the neurologist today.
Here's a look at some of my images for Thursday:
Katie took the next couple of shots while I was out to dinner with friends.
The fact that Simon shows himself to her through the lens tells a lot about their relationship.

Yippee! I'm so glad that Anna's better and Simon's appointment is going to happen today.
It is so interesting how our kids behave with others (regarding Simon's pics taken by Katie.) It's great when you've got those others on your side and willing to help you out!!!

For me, that hand shot was surely the bravest shot of the bunch.

What a great idea. I need to do that. I sure wish we had pictures of things when I was growing up.

It's really funny how you mention taking pictures of stuff in your house, like the kids' closets because I took a picture of my daughter's closet to represent getting ready for bed on Sunday night, and I made sure that I got a shot of my son's closet for getting ready this morning. It's a great idea to take pictures of stuff and your general environment, whether it's home, work or your city.

Ali, Anna has such big feet!! Want to know how I can tell? I love the photo of her sitting on her legs on the red ladder chair step stool thingy -- and I love that you have TWO of them! My grandmother had one and I'd kneel on it and help her do the dishes! I used to watch my mom and her sisters do the dishes at Grandma's house and laugh and have fun -- I've always thought doing dishes by hand is more fun -- for those reasons! Anyway, the feet -- I wear a size 4 in grown ups and a size 2 in children's, sometimes a 4.5 and a 3, but never a 5 or 3.5. When Sarah got big and we'd go to the shoe store, she'd go to women's and I'd go to children's. I've always just wanted normal sized feet. Anna is lucky! And I love Simon seeing the neurologist! Because that's what Charlie's doing and I'm so proud of him! Hopefully his work will help Simon's doctor and teachers! XOXO, Mary

Love your work, like always.
Just wanted to remind everyone to back up!! My week is over, I've got sticky notes in my pages for what goes where, I've made the collage pages, just waiting for a sale to order the prints. And yesterday my computer shuts off and won't turn on. Now I have to send it away and I'm freaking out I'm gonna lose everything from this week, not to mention all my templates and Ali's words and everything! Don't let it happen to you!

Love the around the house stuff. I can remember a book we had as a child that I want to remember the title of. I would love to read it again. It's almost like this lifelong journey to find it again but no pictures of the "stuff" from my childhood.
Love the contrast between the green lego in the container and the messy coloured lego on the floor. And Katie's shots are awesome.
