C3's views on SEX!!.....

This weekend C3 was in top form

(for those who do not know C3 is my 8yr old son)

Friday night C3 had a friend over, 

so while they were playing in his room

G and I lit some candles, opened a bottle of wine and 

cuddled on the couch listening to music....

C3 came in to nvestigate

not impressed that G and I are cuddling

C3: Is there a power shortage?

Irini: no!...

C3: then why are the candles lit?

Irini: for a romantic atmosphere!

C3: ah ok (giving me dirty look...translation I do not like my father and you being affectionate)

an hour later when his friend left

C3 came to the kitchen to ask me

C3: mama were you and my father having sex?

I: What?!!!! No ....

C3: Dont you think you are both a bit old for sex now????

I think I not only wet myself from laughter  I also cried....

So are you too old????

Sassy Lil' Send Off!

Unfortunately 

Cherie and Katie

have decided to close down 

Sassy lil Sketches

I will miss them as they were great "bosses"

I loved the sketches and had a fabulous time being on the design team.

this is my second last layout for the girls

you will see my last layout on the October 8th

So my switch it up layout for September is this

based on this sketch

I Switched It Up!  by replacing the picture on the left with a tag. 

Then added the pictures in place of a couple of the patterned paper.

I loved this sketch!!!
