A Week in the Life

Good Morning! (really, it's only just after 5am at the moment..)
Can you believe the week is almost over?
It has flown by for me pretty much. I have a sleep deprivation thing going on at the moment, but at least the earlier part flew.

So, I am behind in writing about this to all of you but this week I had decided to do Ali Edward's a Week in the Life project. I'll write a little about it (remember when we did her "One Word" project, I love her blog!!!) but also if you want to play along you should DEFINITELY go to her blog to read her instructions and see all the samples. When I am done with this week I am going to do her "December Daily" project as well. I haven't scrapbooked since August and i think these projects are a good way to get me going. Very do-able.

So, for my Week in the Life I started this Sunday. It just so happens this Monday the kids were off school, we had conferences, and it was a fun day. There are some cool things that have been going on this week that I am grateful will be documented. The election is a big one. Then the wacky weather we've been having (70's here). Also Jeff joined an adult soccer league and I hang at the gym a lot. I think I'd love to do this project every year starting the day after Halloween. (that sentence is a reminder to myself by the way)

Basically all I have done so far is take pictures, some days tons (Monday) some days less (yesterday). Whenever I don't have something exciting to take I try to take something around the house. Also I am collecting stuff (but RATS accidentally threw out my grocery receipt). I have movie stubs, a "I voted" sticker, stuff like that. Then each day I write some notes about the day.

Now what I want to do today is find the album I want to use for this. I am trying to find an 8.5x11 since I think it will fit how I want to do the daily opener. I have actually been looking for this album for awhile (I have been trying to find time to do this, she wrote about it awhile ago) without success. Today i am just going to force myself to pick one. Hobby Lobby field trip for Ethan and I!

So, that's it in a nutshell. Anyone interested in playing along? It really doesn't matter if you start the same day I do/did. I'd love to post what you do, just like we did with the "one word" and just like Ali does on her blog if you follow the "week in the life" links. There are a few of you who I think might play. It would be interesting for a certain someone to document one week of the end of being a family of three (soon to be four!!!) don't you think???? Another someone could document her exercise goals and dedication. There are a couple of you (three December babies) who could document one of your last weeks in your thirties!!! Someone could document her successes with reducing her family's carbon footprint. How about the person who moved recently... she could document a week in the new state she is in. There are other readers who don't comment too much who could use this as a springboard to join in!!! What do you think? Any takers? Please note though, this will be your interpretation of how to do the project - I won't be trying to take everyone along like with One Word.

Since I am behind already (posting wise) tomorrow I will just show some pictures for each day so far - or maybe later today... but I am on that album hunt....

Have a good one!!!
