This is it. The last day for my Week in the Life 2012 project. Overall it’s been a great one to do and I’m glad I stuck with it for the full seven days.

I have to admit, I’m glad it’s over but I’m really glad I did it! It was a lot of work and time and there’s a lot more work and time left to put into it in the form of photo editing, printing, and album assembling. But I know I’ll love it once it’s done.

Although this has been far from a normal week around here, it’s been fun to document how crazy life can be just in the normal day-to-day living.

Here are some snaps from yesterday:

And that’s it. A full week done and documented – now to get it all in an album!

Well, I’m almost finished the final day of my first foray into Week in the Life. Whew! It’s been a busy week around hereanyway, now made a bit busier by WITL! However, it’s been interesting and I can’t wait to see my finished mini when I get it done. The funniest part is that M is now refusing pics – I got a hand and a foot in the face today ! 🙂

Here are some snaps from yesterday:

See you tomorrow for my thoughts about this project and all the pics from today – the last day!

More than halfway through the week and it’s still going well, though I may be driving people crazy with all the photo taking! It was G’s birthday yesterday so super busy with lots going on. Lots of pics too, here are a few that cover our day:

So yesterday was crazy and I’m only now getting to post Wednesday’s Week in the Life pics – enjoy!

Still loving the process, though it is getting harder to motivate myself to write everything down! I know it will be worth it when the album is all put together.

1. 3 years ago today, I was in a hospital bed watching this tiny boy sleeping and making little moaning sounds. He was definitely the cutest boy ever born (this is true, I am not biased, ask anyone!)

2. 3 years ago today, M was meeting “her baby” for the first time and pointing out all his body parts – she was very into that at age 20 months!

3. 3 years ago today, D and I were arguing over names – he was adamant about Gabriel, I didn’t like it. He won, obviously. I regret to this day I didn’t put Gabe on the birth certificate. He just isn’t a Gabriel….

4. 3 years ago today I was still in shock there was a baby boy – I was convinced I was having another girl. As a matter of fact, when the nurse said, “It’s a boy!” my response was, “Are you sure?” Ha!

5. 3 years ago today I already couldn’t imagine our lives without this blond haired, blue-eyed boy in it. He was, and still is, perfect. Though he does have an evil streak a mile wide!

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY, baby boy!!

Happy Birthday, sweet boy, we love you more than you’ll ever know!

(This is my second post today, check below for my Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger submission!)

Back for day two of Week in the Life and I’m still loving it. So much so that I’m seriously considering Project Life next Year, though I might start that in September as that’s when M starts school – seems like a good point from which to go year to year.

Anyway…. Here are some pics from yesterday!

Enjoy!

(Note: No Tuesday Techniques this week. I’ll be concentrating on Week in the Life 2012 instead.)

I started Week in the Life 2012 yesterday. This is my first time doing this project and although I was assuming it would be time-consuming, it wasn’t as bad as I was anticipating. Lots of writing and photo taking, though I didn’t take as many pics as I thought I would. I’m still trying to find the right pictures to take – not used to taking shots of my breakfast!

This week is also turning out to be less ordinary than I thought – an unexpected run to the hospital last night since G was complaining of his ear hurting and I wanted to catch any infection early, but luckily, just a bit of redness, nothing serious!

Here’s some of my pics from yesterday from morning to night:

Loving this so far – we’ll see how I feel by the end of the week!

He…

dirty nose from digging in the yard

…is not sleeping. Which would be fine if he stayed in his room and didn’t jump on other people to wake them up.

…makes the funniest faces. He’s just like my brother Matthew who was the bane of my existence growing up!

…loves his trucks and cars. He’s such a boy! But he really loves carrying around the tiny ones. He’s definitely mine!

…really is the cutest thing ever. When he’s not being evil, that is!

She…

at the park

…is being somewhat easier to get along with these days. Big sigh of relief here. I was about to donate her to charity…. 😉

…loves writing letters – both the alphabet and ones to mail. She’s getting pretty good at both!

…had her first bike ride yesterday and did really well. She loved every minute of it!

…really is the cutest thing ever. When she’s not whiny, that is!

He…

helping Miss M

…is procrastinating about writing the outline for his Studio Photography 101 Course.

…is itching to go on a long Geocaching spree.

…just bought me a very fancy, very sharp new knife just because. And because I always complain that mine won’t stay sharp. He wins the very nice husband award this week!

She…

selfie...

…is loving that spring has arrived and we can all go outside again.

….is still really enjoying the scrapcave – though the stuff is starting to close in on me again!

…has some new 100% wool felt that I can’t wait to play with!

…thinks that Instagram for Android is the bomb!

She…

napping with the trains

…sleeps in the strangest places.

…loves getting her picture taken.

She…

not pausing a second for the camera

…insists on sneaking into G’s room at night. He hates that.

…hates getting her picture taken.

P.S. Thanks Cathie, for the great recap idea!

Time with Mr. G

Since today was a holiday, M. spent part of yesterday and last night with Nana.

And since D. was still sick, that left G. and I alone together. And I realized that I never, *never* have him just on his own.

Last night we went and did some errands, stopped at The Paperie, and had McDonalds for supper – big treat!

Today, we went out and played a bit, then had a long visit with “the trains” as my kiddies fondly call Chapters. They know there are books, which they like to buy and take home, but the big Thomas the Train setup is the main attraction! We got lucky and had the place mostly to ourselves, something that never happens.

While we were there, Nana called and invited us to join her and Molly at a movie, G’s first (Mom, I need the tickets please!) so the four of us met up to watch The Lorax, which was really good! And G. sat through the whole thing, no wiggling or anything!

After the movie, G. and I headed home, while M. stayed with Nana a little longer (we met her later at Aunt Barbara’s house for an early Easter Egg hunt with the cousins). He fell asleep after our long day and had a bit of a nap in the car.

I have one on one time with M. almost every Saturday but I think she’s going to have to start alternating with G. – it was a blast to spend alone time with you, my baby!
