Day Four

So it's day four of being stuck in the house. Last night at dinner we, O.K. read "I", decided we should have a reading contest to see who could read the most pages. The kids are really competitive so I thought this would be a good motivator and would change up daily grind a bit. They are really good about reading, in fact they love to read. But since they been off for the past few days, they want to play computer games, on their DSIs and the Wii more and more. So I said the winner would get to do something they like to do but don't get to do enough. The 7 year old wants to wrestle his father for an hour all by himself (read not with the older sibling around AT ALL). The 9 year old wants to wrestle dad too, or use my Cricut "all by myself" (yeah, I'm thinking I'll have to be within arms reach...). The hubby, he said he'd have to think about it a little more. Well I think him winning involves me making coffee, bacon and French toast for the next few days and bringing it to him in bed. That, is sooo not going to happen. Me, I would like 2 or 3 hours to be all by myself to do what ever I want to do. I mean ALL BY MYSELF - in the house alone. The three hours wouldn't start until they were completely out of the drive way and they couldn't come back in the house till I unlocked the doors. Don't get me wrong, I love my people, but I also love my sanity :P

As I'm typing this I just got word that school will be out tomorrow as well. I'm thinking my weekend of scrapping will have to be scrapped. A bunch of us are hopping we can all reschedule for next weekend. We'll see what happens.

Without further ado, here are a couple of the set of cards I made for my aunt.

They are 85% percent the same card, I just chose different ribbon and brads for each one. Enjoy.

Thanks for stopping by
