A Week in the Life 2016?

Oh I so understand the in-law thing. It's hard and they guilt you for it. We had similar situations. I'm sad they did it to you again.
Hang in there and so glad you aren't giving up. Be sure and journal out the in-law feelings not for the book but to get them out on paper. Then you can always burn or shred it.

Great idea Carilyne! I used to have an outlet for my in-law vents... my BIL's wife. But they got divorced back in November. His ex-wife and I are still good friends and communicate fairly regularly, but I'm sure the last thing she wants to hear is my venting about the in-laws she doesn't have to deal with anymore (and were part of the downfall of their marriage). Journaling about this would be good.

oh boo on WITL being ruined by the very peeps you love to have look at your books..that makes me so sad. My kids were so good this week about letting their faces show, cause they knew grandparents were gettting the book. Last night, as my son walked in at 30seconds before curfew...he came in and posed...cause he saw me with the camera, and said. oh wow, week in the life ends tonight? lol yeah! lol

That's the one photo I think I took of them! The two of them with a stack of albums, going through them all! It's really nuts that they make me so crazy, yet they're the ones that seem to appreciate my albums the most! My parents barely flip through them, but my in-laws... word by word, cover to cover.

I love the last photo you got! That could make a really cute ending page! Good-night to your son and good-night to a successful WITL!

Love it. I teased my husband that I was doing a day in the life with him because he had already had a big bowl of popcorn and was working on leftovers. He was a willing participant, even offering poses. Oh well it made the day more fun. I love your last picture!

@tkradtke
You know Allison Pennington has a not pictured kit right? maybe your witl can have the photo with the grandparents looking through the books, and focus on the good parts you told us. And you can just use words for Sunday, or photos from another Sunday that are representative. Or take some today that are 'around here'. Books on the nightstand, bedrooms, etc.
