The boys' playroom is one of my favorite places in my home. Sure, it is a perfect place to help corral the millions of toys they have and provide entertainment for the boys. And sure, this is where we have our 'magic couch' in which you want to fall asleep after sitting on it for less than 2 minutes. Most importantly though, is it has beautiful light in the afternoons which is perfect for photographing those crazy boys. We recently rearranged the playroom and I commented to my husband 'This is perfect!'. He said 'Yes, we can put a big TV across the couch now and watch movies in here.'. I said 'Noooo...the couch is in the perfect spot for the pretty light!' Ah, the joys of being married to someone on the verge of being obsessed with light and photography.

Anywho, last week the boys were playing in the room AND the room was relatively clean. Both make for a perfect reason for me to grab the camera and start shooting. Plus, this totally fits into the tips I shared on Ways to Document Your Life Through Photography. Thomas was practicing his speech with the train toy, we pulled out the remote to get a couple of us in the frame together, the boys read a magazine, and Thomas eventually found my phone sitting out and couldn't resist its temptation. Here is our life 'At 4:00'.
