Trying something new this summer...

Got some bad news this week...seems the company I work for is struggling and so all employees have had to take a pay cut and go to a 4 day work week.  The 4 day work week is not so bad, I have to be honest...but that pay cut...well, that's a bitch!  We have had to rethink our plans for the summer and canceled a few things.  We have also committed to not eating anymore.  Hoping and praying that this will only be temporary.  At least I still have a job, right?

We are going to have to get a little creative when it comes to fun things to do, especially when Daddy works from home and is pretty much glued to his computer until 4pm.  At least with the 4 day work week I can have an entire day to spend with the kids and take advantage of some of the fun passes we, thankfully, already have and we can find some fun things to do together at home.

I just signed us up for a class over at Big Picture Scrapbooking:

Big Picture Scrapbooking

We have decided to do this a family and I am rather looking forward to it.  Especially after I emailed the instructor asking if the class would be good for us moms who work full time and when she responded, she referred to me as a "supermom"...as the saying goes, "you had me at hello."  LOL!  I am excited to do this with the kids and do some scrapbooking WITH them rather than just ABOUT them.  Things should be interesting as well ;)
