  • stacey · 7 years ago
    Just think how great these weblogs are going to be for everybody to look back with in the future. I wish I had one of these going back to when I was as young as Kurtwood.

    ok, so i did a google search and came up with this -- no image, no description -- except for size, and that sounds about right.

    i wish there was a picture -- i can picture it in my mind, and i'd love to get one that looked exactly like the one i had (lo, these many many many years ago).

    I'll pop a pic tonight of what Shelley is using for the boys (as a guy, I have this blind spot about such things) and ask her where she got them.

    Your description is at least similar to what we were looking through this weekend as we were doing Daniel's bio-board...

    I have an uncontrollable urge to collect and store my kids' stuff, too. How can you throw out those precious milestones? YOU CAN'T!

    Someone once told me that they or their parents kept a big bin of all of the keepsakes through the years. Pictures, report cards, schoolwork, artwork, projects, etc. What didn't fit in the box was photographed, and the photograph was added to the box.

    When the kids were old enough to move out, they were each given their box to do with as they wished. I thought that was a great coming of age thing, and what a treasure to sift through the layers.

    dangit! i forgot to bring the school pictures to scan. i knew i forgot something.

    guess this means i have to get off my a** and hook up my scanner at home. oh, you should see that kindergarten picture. it's soooooo cute.

    you're very right -- you just can't :)

    I was given something similar when the Misha started school. It was from Current. I had every intention of using it, really I did, and I will as soon as I finish (read: start) my notes from the trip to Russia to pick them up.

    Really, I will.

    I mean it.

    I have a book like that for Jason that I bought at my local Half Price Books. Of course he's in 5th grade now and the book has nothing written in it...

    Think of the future blackmail potential, too!

    Me personally? I find that it's more fun to not be organized so you can discover things and be surprised later. It makes every cleaning day like Christmas.

    Yay.
