dyk no, but you are more than welcome to borrow the idea and write your own! lol

dyk Deklan is going to be a crime fighting Cheetah --righting a major wrong in the jungle.

dyk Ellie is going to be a technologically advanced baby -- aka -- a NERD!!! haha

dyk I want to write a few more pages, but Ellie is up and I need to start getting ready for having a housefull of people tonight

dyk but after they leave and the kids are in bed -- we have nothing in the DVR so I should be able to write the rest of the book.

dyk then I can go back through and decide how much spirituality I want in it -- I haven't really inundated it with scripture or God references -- haven't made the final decision on that.

Dyk if I could write my own, I wouldn't have asked lol! It would be so much easier for you to do it for me. ;)

Dyk but I think I just may steal the idea. How are you making the actual pages?

dyk I haven't figured out the semantics yet

dyk I may just print on printer paper (colored for Abi with the Irlen syndrome) and then do a cut and paste project for the back to back pages and then laminate, cut out and then take them to Office Max and have them bind the laminated pages into a "book" -- a somewhat indestructible waterproof book

dyk oh whew, Dek recovered in time to go on a bike ride with Sean

dyk Abi opted out -- she took a pretty good fall just a while ago and scrapped up her knee so she's hanging in her room drawing

dyk Ellie went back down for another nap -- she wasn't really done with the first one -- Dek went SCREECHING down the hall -- voice pitched highter than a girl for reel -- and that woke her up

dyk now is the perfect time for me to hop in the shower --

dyk I am done with all but ONE load of laundry that is in the dryer -- it's even put away!!!

dyk I should get off the couch

dyk Sean makes me nervous -- he leaves his chores to the last minute -- he has floors and the bathroom --- all of which are YUCK and we have 15 people coming over in 3 hours

dyk but he's on a bike ride with Dek and that is probably more important ;-P

dyk the reason I don't write for other people is because even though I've only spent about 2 hours actually writing/planning -- I think about it all the time

dyk the reason I was able to sit down and write 14 pages is b/c I've been planning them out, thinking about the names, the setting, the type of dialogue and the reading level I wanted it all to be -- for about a week

dyk and when I have all that in my brain -- other things fall through....like picking up ABi's ADHD script and FILLING IT

dyk or grabbing our bible study books.....
