Organize your Stuff Week 17 (round 5): WOYWW 144

Wednesday! Aaaaggghh! How did you get here so fast? It is time again for WOYWW (What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday) hosted by the always jovial (and currently recovering from her first chocolate flavored Philadelphia Cream Cheese…) Julia at the Stamping Ground. Pop on over there if you want to see other people and places and the things they have created…It is an international look-see to delight the eyes!

This week is a little organized chaos (ok, when is it not?). OCD Me has been distracted by tonight’s airplane arrival of our Mother-in Law…AKA: the Grandmother. We love her dearly, but OCD is about to pop a blood vessel every time she looks at the chaos that continues to be the front hallway. (We think that the sock monsters, who are currently expanding their territory, have teamed up with the children to undermine her work). She now hovers around it like a bird of prey. However, no sooner has she swooped down and straightened up and turned her back then they have struck again!

So, PA Me keeps glancing at the desk muttering Jedi phrases (this is not the room you are looking for. Move along…) and as an escapee coat is yet again on the floor…it works. *sigh* Curse you sock monsters!!!

This is the card that Creative Me slipped in and created when she ditched coat and shoe patrol. This week, Creative Me also did the technique of converting the plain brown cardstock to the faux crumpled paper texture at Tuesday Trio’s Sketch 109: Arrows. Click over to see!
*Warning: The POW says that the rest is family stuff. Skip to the comments if you are not interested*

To make up for last week and no new pictures from the Front, Fabulous Spouse sent a picture of himself shaking hands with General John Allen, the ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) Commander… or the guy in charge of Afghanistan. Illusive Middle Child was super impressed… especially since Gen. Allen was interviewed on ABC News the next night. His Dad knows someone "famous".

Oldest Child has started the wrestling matches in earnest now. One last week, and two this week.  This is a picture of his first Varsity win (by forefit...shhhh don't tell). So his record has improved to 1-2.

Illusive Middle Child was busy with his basketball. He is becoming quite the force on the court. He is responsible for more steals and rebounds than anyone else on the team. Unfortunately, there is no stealing the ball outside the key… and so he has the most errors too. (at least it is not double dribbling like Girl Friday).

Girl Friday is wrapping up her basketball season as well, but more importantly, it is Girl Scout Cookie Season. She has her smile and her sales pitch perfected, and is ready to take your order!

As for us, Fabulous Spouse’s present for this week is a weekend away (hence the visit from Grandmother). We are going to the CKC Convention in Portland to relax, create, and finally learn how to use our Photoshop! Yeah! Thank you Fabulous Spouse for arranging this, and Grandmother for taking the time off work to cover the kids!

Have a great WOYWW all! If we miss you on Wednesday because OCD Me has us hunting sock monsters and scrubbing bathrooms, we do promise to get to try and get to you Sunday or Monday!
