Rainbows End this morning and then Alvin and The Chipmunks this afternoon! The girls decided to call this treat day...I'd call it 'keep them busy day!' I'm going to biff my battery charger too. We've only had it a couple of weeks, as we had to buy a new one, because some clever person (yep me) put normal batteries in it, and guess what that don't work!! But this new charger obviously doens't work, and as we just got it from Woolworths, I don't have a docket, because I'm not into keeping all the supermarket dockets....Anyway got to Rainbows End and of course the batteries went flat after three photos, giant ggrrrrrrr on my part.
Well I've loved having the girls and they have been great, but to all you Mum's out there, I don't know how you fit in scrapbooking (mind you they are now camping in my scrapbooking room, so even if I had time I can't get in there past the tent etc). So I will miss them when they go home tomorrow, but it will be nice to see my scrapbooking room back and I won't miss the extra washing either LOL!! I often crop with a bunch of Mum's from my work who I'm now teaching their second and third children, so I have a new found admiration for them and of course for their husbands, as they are the ones at home with the 'babies' while we are out...
Best I go and get the girls now (they are having a spa) as we are making their Mum a book. If I leave it too much longer they'll me too tired... Hope you all have a great day tomorrow, isn't this weather just great. Oh and big thanks to Vicki who sent me a lovely birthday RAK today - thanks Vicki!

Sounds like a day of fun, bummer bout the camera and batteries. Mind you i cnat remember how many times i have gone somewhere and wanted to take photos but have forgotten the camera. Most of my scrapbooking gets done when the boys are in bed or at their fathers house, but during the holidays i do tend to do more during the day if they are busy outside or watching a dvd.
What a fun day! Did you enjoy the movie? I'm thinking of taking the boys (and the 2 extra boys I'm looking after during the hols) to see it on Tuesday.
Yes, it can be hard to fit things into a busy life with kids, work, etc. But you will make time if you love something. And I'm very lucky to have my scrap table and my computer desk in the boys' playroom, so they can play while I work or scrap. I have taught them from the beginning that they are not to touch my things, and they never do! :-)
Oh, and you soon get used to the extra washing. I remember the days of "one load per week" fondly ... but I guess I'll be waiting another 15 years or so before that comes round again! LOL!
Sounds like the girls are having a fantastic time. According to my 17year old Alvin is the funniest movie she's seen.
As for scrapbooking with kids I'm lucky that mine are old enough to do their own thing and they know where to find me if they need me.
I don't mind the washing as the kids hang it out but its the ironing I loathe!
