Here's a suggestion from me - Kids in the Kitchen.

And another one "following in Mom's/Dad's footsteps" or something like that - where the kids are doing the grownup jobs, whether for real or pretending

Just a couple of thoughts ... "Sibling Revelry" (not rivalry, of course) -- capture a fun or tender moment between siblings

"Then and Now" ... take a photo of a child in a similar pose & setting or doing the same activity as in an older photo to show the growth of the child and hopefully the growth of your photography skills, too.

Sarah, around here it definitely IS rivalry! ROFL

Too funny, Sis!
I was an only child but I have cousins and to this day I get a kick out of watching the three of them revel and rival in their sibling-hood!

Thanks for the ideas, Sarah. I've added them to the list.
