More often than I would like, my kids get their hands on my camera and when I download my photos I discover pictures like these. . . . .

Barrett's beloved trains.

Barrett amusing himself at Blythe and
Brynne's piano recital.

A blurry Barrett.

Ghostlight Ramone and Tongue McQueen.
(The things I now know.)

Samantha and Kit, two of the girls' American Girl dolls.

Barrett being his usual crazy self.

The girls mugging for Barrett.
I'm actually pretty impressed that this one is in focus.

A close-up of Kit in her birthday dress.

Blythe attempting to cop some attitude for the camera.

Brynne in her usual spot snuggling Ruby.

Blythe's half finished puzzle.

Barrett in his ubiquitous pajamas and his bike helmet.
So the question is: What do I do with all these photos? Do I save them or delete them? My initial thought is why keep a bunch of blurry photos of nothing important, but then I think that maybe in 20 years I'll be glad I kept these pictures of our most normal, unpolished, unposed moments. What do you do?

Keepers, for sure. At best you'll have a good laugh down the road, at worst you might have some blackmail material. Did I say "at worst?" I meant "Even Better."
Those pictures are perfect. Your kids are so adorable. Keep em', keep em', keep em' - though I am a packrat so take it for what it's worth!
Keep them! Open a folder on your desktop to dump them in everytime you download photos. In ten years you can make a book of the best of them. They will priceless when the kids are grown.
