i planned on capturing little shots like what we ate for breakfast and random things we did together--kind of like an average day in our lives. (meg did this a few weeks ago and i loved it).
but my camera's battery died around 10am.
i thought about trying again on another day, but when i went back and looked at the pictures i had taken, i found that they i took really did tell the story of the day.
and i love taking pictures this way. there's no pressure to get it right. fun.
one of ben's favorite toys
josh and his sleepy, toothless grin
school notices and recent test scores (they aren't always this good)
fresh spring flowers on the kitchen table
anna's art and homemade magnets
star wars toys from happy meals
a little lion in timeout for back talking
a camera shy boy who keeps following me around
mailing out packages
waffles for breakfast
eating and watching cartoons together
the last of my stash of pumpkin candles burning
handmade cards from a thoughtful and kind friend
the boys playing legos...again
a happy bird's nest making it's easter debut
see.
nothing spectacular but really spectacular all the same.
our everyday life is something special. something extra special.
and these kinds of pictures capture just the kind of day in our lives that too soon will be nothing but a memory.
