choose your own adventure -- blogstyle!

Once upon a time, you find yourself at home with your two kids in the middle of the week. Your oldest daughter has been sick for the past four days and you are itching to get out of the house. Spending days cooped up with a feverish four-year-old who wants to be held 24/7 along with a restless toddler is turning into not such a great time. So you decide it's time to get out and find an adventure. The thought crosses your mind that you really should stay home and get a few loads of laundry done, but really, that will wait. It's a nice sunny day and you're restless too. You're really in the mood for hitting the mall, but you know that's probably not the best answer either. Although you could probably finagle it to arrange a lunch date with your handsome husband whom your kids adore and would love to see and share a delectable meal of Chick-fil-A with. And of course, you would only be window shopping... not wasting spending money. (wink wink)

If you decide to stay home, turn to page 4 (and prep for dinner tonight).
If you decide to drive to the mall, turn to page 27.
If you decide to come up with another, probably more productive/educational/kid friendly activity, eg. Grants Farm, the library, and other such outings, turn to page 31.

First comment (or best idea... I reserve the right to choose, haha!) is what we'll be doing today. Or maybe later this week, depending on how Savannah's feeling and when we might actually get our act together and get out of the house today.

Also, if you haven't already "helped" with our fireplace options (see below), please do so... I need any and all the opinions I can get!
