Video or Scrapbook or who really cares?

So I take pictures. All the time. Video too.

Now what do I do with this photographic evidence of my children's lives?

I have picture albums up until our first baby (when we got our first digital camera).

And I have dvds of pictures and video up until January of '06.

So I'm stuck. Do I devote free time to making dvd's of my pictures and videos up until the present time? Just DVD's of the videos, then do digital scrapbooking and make real books of pictures? I'm having a hard time deciding.

My parents had no real picture organization at all, so I'm at a loss as to what I'll really want to look at in 20 years- watch a dvd of pictures? Or look at a book?

Do your kids look at their scrapbooks? Are they just for me when my kids are grown and my babies are having babies?

What do YOU do with all. these. pictures?

How are you feeling?

Today at Joy school the theme was all about honesty and feelings. I came up with the following activities to supplement all the stories the curriculum provided. I think they'd be fun for Family Home Evening or just for fun.

First, I took pictures of the girls making different emotions. Then, I loaded them onto Picasa, the free google photo software, made a collage, and typed in the emotions with the "add text" tool. Took me 3 minutes to take pictures and maybe 5 to make the collage.


We also traced a cup to make perfect circles all across our paper. Then drew different faces to make different emotions. The kids had fun drawing different hairstyles and features- rosy cheeks, big lips, little ears, etc.
