A week in the life of....

This has to be my all time favorite quote from a TV show or movie. Of course it was on Dexter:)

Deb to Dexter: "What the f@*# is scrapbooking?"

Dexter in his matter of fact way of speaking: "The tradition of putting photos and memorabilia into a family keepsake albums, along with relevant journaling"


I laughed and laughed and laughed! I love it! Maybe you just had to be there.....or be a scrapbooker:)

Last year I did Alie Edwards "a week in the life of" and here are a couple of pages from my finished album. This was a really fun project and the whole family joined in with me. It was such a great reminder to document your life and celebrate the everyday!
Putting these on my blog just made me want a 12x12 scanner even more!!!!! I will add the rest of the mini later when I have more time to play.

I started my week of documenting on a Monday, which worked out to be a very typical Monday. Your suppose to do a regular, typical week of you life to show your everyday stuff. I did find that I love my everyday and find comfort in my everyday rituals. I am so very blessed that everyday I have, I spend with my favorite people in the world!!! Lucky me. Cant wait to post the rest of this album!!!!

Mattias cracked me up last night!

Mattias: "Mom I think I want to be a lawyer when I grow up, they make good money on the legal fees that they charge. Do you think I should be a lawyer for Barnes and Noble or Starbucks?"

Me: "Why are you thinking of only those two companies?"

Mattias: "Well I really like Barnes and Noble and I'm GOING to like Starbucks one day and I can bring you home a coffee every night"

It cracks me up that he sees how much I love coffee and he figures that its in his future as well. I also love that my happiness is helping him decide what career choice to make....yeah I know he's 9. When he is really making career choices I will be at the bottom of his concerns....I'm OK with that! I will enjoy him while I have him:)
