What to do when snowed in!

Isabella was very busy with her newest project, she decided to open shop in her room. Knowing her father was very busy with work and commitments, and her brother professes his lack of creative crafty skills, see saw an opportunity. She made Valentine cards and decorations for purchase!

Notice her open sign! Every time she left her room, she closed shop, and when she wanted to read, she went into her room so her shop could be open. After the first day though, she saw he problem, lack of customers. Karl, Anton, and I made purchases, with Karl making the most comical comments. But who now? She asked if we could invite friends over to the house to visit. I think she wanted to expand her business! Oh what does the future hold for her?

The event that took place during the storm was a new computer. Our desk top actually shut down last year. Karl and I have been using the laptop but recently the graphics card was failing, so it was going to quit soon too. I made a plea to my brother-in-law for advice since Karl told me in a moment of weakness to jut go purchase something. When Karl came home with the big meeting moved and now giving him a block of free time, he took Curtis' advice and purchased one from Best Buy. The monitor we ordered is to arrive next week, so one of our friends is letting us borrow a spare monitor from them in the interim. The companies have really made setting these new computers up pretty easy, I wonder at the need for the "Geek Squad" instillation services offered.

Or maybe I just have "special" kids!
(OK, busted! Karl was helping the kids!)
