Simon's Evening.

Love it!!!
Nothing like the everyday to be thankful for.

Love the perspective/angle of this shot!

Smiling because this (the cars & the legos) sounds like an evening with my 5 year old as well.

Sound like a night here. I love how you document the everyday:) Jess

Hi Ali-
I love your blog, you always have the coolest ideas and concepts. I am in the middle of working on the Everyday Life book and am loving every minute of it.
I know you write of Autism often and I came across this blog and wanted to share. The website is:
http://www.talkaboutcuringautism.org/jenny/dc-rally/index.htm#anchor
Please join Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey for the most historical event of 2008, the Green Our Vaccines Rally.
Jenny and Jim are working hard to eliminate all toxins from our children's vaccines and have our national health agencies reassess the mandatory vaccine schedule, as our children are receiving TOO MANY, TOO SOON. While Jenny and Jim support the vaccine program, like many, they feel vaccines are too toxic. This country has the ability to provide a safer vaccine supply and schedule to our children and they ask you to join them to demand this for our country's greatest asset, our children.
Who: Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey, sponsored by Talk About Curing Autism (TACA), Generation Rescue, HEAL Foundation -Healing Every Autistic Life and Moms Against Mercury
What:
A March and Rally to give everyone who loves a child with Autism a day for their voices to be heard.
When:
June 4, 2008
9:00 a.m. – Gather in DC (see March info below)
10:00 a.m. – March (PROMPT START TIME)
12:30 p.m. – RALLY CONCLUSION
Where:
Washington, DC
Why:
Demand Congress take action to Green Our Vaccine Supply while reassessing our current vaccine schedule. Ask Congress to reenact legislation that would eliminate mercury and other toxins from our children's vaccines, study the instance of Autism and other neurological disorders in vaccinated versus unvaccinated children, and to extend the statute of limitations to allow all children affected by vaccine induced Autism to file in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP).
How:
You must register online to attend the Rally.
I am sure you may have heard of it, but I wanted to pass it along just in case! Have a great day-

Chop wood, carry water, legos and car re-enactment...the zen of family life.
Perfect.

am I the only one freaking out he is too close to your scrapping stuff? LOL joking, my little one beahves well close ot my stuff!
lovely evening, I need one of those (especially being able to play quietly while someone ELSE does the dishes)
hope you are having a great week :)

Loving the Cars re-enactment and the Star Wars Legos...I wanna come play, too.

Pretty much how our evenings go including the bagel with cream cheese and cars :0)

Hmmmmm, bagels, cr. cheese, fruit, juice, chocolate chips (hot!) and bubble bath - my idea of Heaven, too!

It's nice to hear someone else's son eats a simple dinner too. My son loves homemade bread and will eat it for every meal if given the opportunity. I always worry he's not eating enough. But I guess they have a way of knowing what they need.

I love the perspective of this shot!
Sounds like a cozy evening...

Sounds like a wonderful, calm and peaceful night! I need one of those, along with some hot from the oven chocolate chip cookies :)

Simon loving and living life:)

Sounds like a nice evening... funny, we have those same cars. Little boys love them!!

It all sounds so good and so much like what goes on over here - especially the Cars re-enactment!
So good that you document the little things - love that about you!
A.

Looks like a pretty good evening. :)
I need to document these things with my boys too.
HOlly T.

It's funny to see Simon playing among scrapbook supplies :-)

sounds like a good evening was had by all! I also see some new Jenni Bowlin goodness and a little bit of Heidi Swapp in there as well. Lots of good stuff going on.

Love your blog and love that you love your son so much! Sounds like a perfect evening to me.

What a great night! Simon rocks [and so does his mama!]!!

I like the concept of remembering a random day of Simon's life like that. I know I would love to know what one of my days was like when I was that young. I like how you make everyday feel special! Great post, thanks! (It did make me hungry, though!)
I buy a ton of Bert's Bee's as gifts. I'm using the eye wrinkle cream right now.

I love this picture! I guess you stood up on a chair? I just got the creative composition book that you recommended last week and I was reading about getting on ladders and chairs to get the better shots. It really helps sometimes to get a different perspective! I haven't done it yet, but I plan to!

Amazing isn't it that on the other side of the world I could have taken exactly the same picture and made exactly the same comment. Aaah the joys of Lego, Cars, the news and endless piles of washing!
