So in honor of the last year of my 20s I will ATTEMPT another 365. Some of you may remember that I tried and FAILED a self portrait 365 about 2 years back. This will NOT be a self portrait but about my life(kids, husband, other family, etc).

So stay tuned. Tomorrow I will post the FIRST picture of 365 (2009). To make it even easier I won’t actually post here but just keep the slideshow up on top

I don’t want to bog down my blogs so I will be posting my 365 on photobucket

YOU ARE WELCOME to offer more ideas!!

I want to keep a list of things I would like to get a picture of ((some I may not be able to right away due to geography   )) … Obviously my kids and husband will be in the pictures regularly so they are not on the list….thanks to creating keepsakes for some of the ideas

My baby has to go back to school on Tuesday. I’m not looking forward to it.

We need it though. I took us out of our routine, ENTIRELY, the last two weeks.

NO Tae Kwon Do
NO swim (they were closed on his days)
NO school work. ( he did a little bit of his worksheet packet and a a few minutes of ticket to read, but that’s it)

We’ve just enjoyed our nice, quiet family time. Just the 3 of us. (well 4 when Daddy wasn’t working).

The next time he’s out of school, there will be a baby on the way!!!

(unless you count spring break but that’s only a week, so I don’t usually count it as being “out of school”.)
