I did not dress my daughter in a cute pink leopard hat and glove set and instruct her to play in the fallen autumn leaves instead of raking them up. If I had, these might have been the pictures I'd have gotten:



I did not confuse my daughter's kooky pose in the family portrait for clowning around. As an avid SIMS player, I realized she was mimicking those family shots without her pointing it out. Really I did.
I did not tell the pediatrician that we had reached our quota of conditions and illnesses in the last three months and that if another happened to surface within a week of a well-baby appointment we'd be canceling the rest on account of the bad luck they bring.
I did not lug around my scrap supplies three times in the four day weekend and complete not one page in either child's book. As usual, I'm all caught
I did not get lectured twice - make that three times - about dressing my son. If I had, it certainly wouldn't be about his winter coat being a size too big (though I didn't buy it), about his wearing socks instead of soft shoes (there's debate about whether they make newborn shoes and why one might need them), or about wearing a onesie in a loud jungle print (that I was immediately smitten with and had to buy).

From one scrapbooker to another, I appreciate your list. Those photo ops are worth more than any leaf-free yard would ever be! But, I don't want to see your no scrapping on your list next week. ;)
Oh goodness, I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who had the thrush hypochondria moment lol! And the leaves photos were totally worth it. Isn't autumn wonderful for getting pictures?
Lovely blog :)
