isn't this a cool idea. to have "out-take wednesday" each week … and show you some of the other funny photos i captured during the past week. love that i can make it sounds so official and important. lol! so far, i'm still on track with my project 365 … and have taken photos every day. the added bonus … is that i'm taking more everyday photos than i used to … just because i have the camera out already. and one thing up front … as much as i love a technically perfect photo … i'm not necessarily expecting or trying for that on all these photos. i like to think of these as snapshots … and i don't always have the time to try and get them perfect. but i still love that i'm capturing something from our everyday life. these are NOT my photos for my project 365 (still posting those on saturdays) … just extras from the week.

i actually took my camera in the car … my big, bulky camera. makes me wish i had a point and shoot. lol! we were running all over the place sunday. after the girls indoor soccer game … we had to run back home and get alyssa ready for her youth meeting. then went and dropped her off … and sarah and i ran to the grocery store and costco … and took everything back home to put away. then way back over to pick up alyssa after her meeting. this was us in the car … patiently waiting for alyssa to come out. i'll have to work on this taking-a-photo-in-the-car thing. hard to hold that heavy camera up and not be able to see … and just hope for the best. lol!

and this photo cracks me up. it was right after alyssa came out and got in the car. we were on our way home and stopped at a red light (i think that's the pizza spot behind us). so i casually reached over and turned on the camera … and then lifted it up and pointed it back at her and snapped the picture. you see her holding her hand out? you see her mouth forming the word "you"? i can totally tell you exactly what she's doing here. she's saying "what the heck are YOU doing?!?!?". but imagine it being said in a totally "omg, what is my mother doing?!?!" kind of way.

speaking of alyssa … she's totally obsessed with twilight. can you tell?!?! she is a total saver … never wants to buy anything or spend money. she has all her birthday money and christmas money put away. so NOT like sarah. lol! but we were at the store the other day dropping off a fedex package … and she spotted this magazine. i was really surprised when she jumped at the change to get it … and for once, didn't mind spending a few dollars.

and speaking of magazines … the girls have them all over the house. lol! they love to go through and tear out all the posters of their favorite actors and singers. lots of disney channel and nikelodeon stars hanging all over their rooms. which is cool … i remember doing it when i was younger. actually, i'm not sure i ever hung up posters … but i do know that i collected them.

i have some other blog posts tossing around in my head right now … and just waiting for their chance to be typed up. random stuff, a few older layout shares, maybe even a daycare kid or two. so stay tuned … i'll be back with more tomorrow!

    Hi Laura! Love those photos, I think this is going to be a fun 365 project! As for the magazines, I think Kelsey has about 10 floating around on her bed right now too. This is a fun age for them, I remember those days too from when I was a pre-teen. Looking forward to your layouts! Have a good day!

    I love it! That one of Alyssa mouthing “you” is classic. I can so remember being a teenager and collecting the teen mags…loved Kirk Cameron back in the day…had posters of him and Menudo and so on on my walls. I can relate to her love of Twilight as well.

    My oldest is wanting to go see Twilight. She keeps talking about it with her friends.
    Oh yes I remember the Teen Beat posters on my wall too. I might have just dated myself. LOL
    Camera…you know I remember seeing a great looking small camera that Nichole M. posted on her blog a few months back. Maybe she can tell you a little bit more about it. If I remember right it had a nice lens for the size and cost of camera. I am thinking this would be nice to have for around town. I sometimes do not like lugging the big camera around.
    Happy Scrapping

    Totally laughed at Alyssa’s face in that top pic w/the hand & everything!! Looks like she REALLY loved Twilight–that’s the same face I make when I see something about it!! Does she know the new movie will be out in Nov?? I think the pics came out cute despite not being “perfect”, it’s just fun!

    LOL! Love the random pics!
    I think that 365 gets you thinking about everyday life! And I agree with the point and shoot…I keep meaning to put it in my purse!
    You got me thinking about “Tiger Beat” magazine now…memories there!

    Tee hee! Those photos are awesome! My mom and dad bought me a little point and shoot for Christmas and I LOVE it – so handy to have in the car with me and it does pretty good video too. 🙂
    I remember having sooooo many magazines when I was a teenager – love that you took a photo of her looking at them all.

    Great pics! They will love looking back at those magazine pics when they are older! I wish I had some of me looking at Teen Beat or Tiger Beat from back in the day! Is that the pizza place on Union? I think that is going to be an Eddie’s Pizza, and from what i heard it is a good place, i think it is a chain in Stockton.
