Community Property

We are a community property family.  We have one computer, one TV and one camera that we all share.  Except for Dancing Daughter who can (and does) sit in front of the TV for hours, we don't watch much TV so there is no fighting waiting patiently for a turn.  Different story with the computer.  If I ever when I get a job I'm lobbying for computers for all!

We seem to share nicely when it comes to the camera.  Handy Man doesn't use it very often, the kids and I do.  I have done almost no picture taking since I was laid off.  The camera has not been neglected though.  The kids have been shooting up a storm.

Dancing Daughter found a treasure in her hamper...

 

Then she liked what she saw in the mirror (like her haircut?)

Star Wars Son (well his friend) has been using it to take pictures of bands for the myspace band pages he's been designing.

And yesterday a miracle happened.  The dog brought me his ball, he wanted very much for me to take a break to play with him.  He looked so adorable I just couldn't resist.  I grabbed the camera for the first time in weeks.

What do you love to do that you find sometimes gets pushed to the side when life gets in the way?

I know exactly what you mean. I really want some alone time with my camera!

What great photos! Your kids have their mother's knack in the photo department, that's for sure. (And I love your daughter's hair!)

What gets pushed to the side in my life? Practicing piano. I love my big, old, out-of-tune piano and I loved taking lessons. But life has gotten in the way the last few months and I've actually stopped practicing ... and quit taking lessons. Ugh!

Love, love, love DD's hair!! I don't know what we would do if we didn't each have our own computers:)

Dancing daughter is beautiful, and the boys all grown up and ready to rock on. I love the pictures of the dog. Soon, very soon I am getting my ipad or macbook. I really don't like sharing the computer. It seems almost like an intrusion of my space or someone looking through my purse. I think it is because I have shared everything all my life and now I just want something of my own.

What do I put off that I love? So much too choose from. Maybe the question is what have I not begun because I do everything else that I don't really like? I think it would have to be traveling for pure pleasure, even if it is just to a local international food store. Just to experience something out of the norm.

LOVE DD's shot! Actually, love them all;)

Great photos. I love when cats end up in odd places! And the dog pictures are too cute.

I love knitting, especially while watching some mindless how on t.v. but I haven't picked up my needles in awhile. I'll have to fix that!

I haven't picked up my camera in weeks. I really need to do that this weekend.

Your daughter's eye color is really striking! There's some great pics of some great kids in there.
