Here are some pictures I took in 2011 that never made it into blog posts.
One day I walked into Marshall's room and this is what I found. Apparently Marshall had decided that "Dear Zoo" should not be a lift-the-flap book, and now it is not.
Sometimes the oddest things strike me as being photo-worthy. Can you guess what this is? The answer is posted in the comments.
Reading by Candlelight
The last picture is my favorite of the three. There is a story behind it. Hurricane Irene knocked out our power for a couple of days. We ate dinner outside to take advantage of the light from the setting sun. Later, with no laptops or TV, we had little to do but read, and we had no choice but to share the meager light of our candles and flashlights, so my husband and I read together for the first time in a long time. I enjoyed that night so much, I think maybe we should have a Lights-Out Night on purpose every now and again.
The 2nd picture is of plastic folder tabs in a metallic pail.
