Family Time Assignment 2002 - 04

E's Kindergarten teacher wanted the children to bring in pictures showing time spent with their families. The assignment was given at the end of one week, due on Monday. And, of course, a child would be crushed to not bring in an appropriate suite of photos. All of our pictures, by then, were digital, so the first thing I did was create a web site, had E type out his words for the assignment, and emailed the result to the teacher, explaining that hard copy pictures just weren't available. Then I said 'what the heck,' printed everything out in black and white, and bound the pictures together with staples and yarn.


My family likes to: Go to the Great Wall


My Mom likes to: Give me kisses but I don't like them


G and I like to: Tease each other


My brother G likes to: Sit on the train


I like to: Draw weird and scary pictures


My Dad likes to: Watch the news and watch baseball on TV


G and I like to: Climb rocks together


My family likes to: Camp out


The pictures are from summer of 2002 through summer of 2004. While W had been watching the 2004 World Series (Cardinals versus Red Sox), he doesn't normally follow any sport. Also, the camping out comment was prompted by the picture of W reading a book, taken on our first and, to date, only family camping trip (as in camping in a tent).
