Multi-tasking... with the new one....

I have been in a scrapbooking mood for several weeks. My friend Meredith came over on New Years day & we scrapped all afternoon & late into the night. Since i decided to rearrange my office to make room for both her scrap table & mine, i decided that all that work was worth just leaving my stuff out & set up for awhile. I usually keep my table and all my scrap supplies set up in the walk in closet in that room, but that wouldn't have been conducive to conversation if she was out in the room & i was in the closet. So i moved it out & had to rearrange all the furniture in there to make it all work. Long story short... since i was still in my mode, the stuff was staying out for awhile, & I really wanted to finish my Disney album, i thought i would test a theory over the next few weeks..... multitasking with the office. It was scary but had the potential to be worth trying it out...

Here's what my test run looked like... Jackson on his little table in there with me, working on his lego's, and Zack on his "bed" napping. Can you believe it?? I can hardly believe it myself. The key is to get the dog worn out first. Then let him get sleepy & sack out. If you skip this step then when one of the kids walks in to play Lego's, all he wants to do is play with them or eat the fallen Lego's!
And of course, once he wakes back up... scrappin' time is over! But i have to tell you, the boys have enjoyed being allowed in the office to "work" with me! It's been fun!
