12 on the 12th.

I am a scrapbooker. I love to have my life and that of my kids documented in photos. My friend had this great idea where on the 12th of each month you take 12 ordinary pictures of your day. I think it is cool to keep a record of ordinary events. So these are the pictures of my day yesterday (which was a crazy day- but no crazier than the rest). Warning: they are not the best pictures because I kept forgetting to take them. I was busy remembering what I was supposed to do next.

This is where I am gathering all my stuff to go to town. I was preparing to be gone the eleven hours so it took a little planning. I have a sack of shin guards for soccer, Ally test kit, a sack of needles, test strips, and snacks to restock her at school, a garbage sack for Karen, dinner packed, my roster for soccer practice (I am the coach for Thomas' team. It's crazy I know.)and of course my purse. I also had to get the soccer balls and cones together in the back of the van and grab 5 water bottles out of the fridge.

This is my kids school. Yesterday I helped in Thomas' class and in Rachel's.


After picking Thomas up from kindergarten we went ot visit my friend Karen. She is losing her sight so I am helping clean out her closets. We spend 45 minutes each week going through clothes and trying to put things were she can find them. Then we go to lunch and run a few errands.


After school we pick Ally up. We have Ally's soccer practice. Then we drive across town to Thomas' soccer practice. We get to eat our dinner in the van on the way.


Finally Brent, Samantha, and Rachel join us in town to clean the church. Finally, at 8:30pm we head for home, where a package from my sister was waiting. YEA!



Then as we pulled in the driveway we got a call from my mom and dad that they were dropping in on their way to Salt Lake. So we quickly had to clean up Ally's room. It was very messy. Change her sheets for the guests and make up the bunk bed for her. It was a long crazy day. However lately more days are like this than not so I guess that is life. It's all good!

Okay, this is too weird. I did the 12 of 12 too. You can see it at: http://picasaweb.google.com/tgazelem/20080912Of12# .
How did you friend get this idea. It is completely related to my geocaching life. So, I wonder if your friend is a geocacher.
