Tonight I couldn't sleep, and I wanted to be productive. So.. I created "countdown chains".

If you don't know what I'm talking about let me try to explain (badly)... They are paper countdown chains like you make at christmas. Strips of paper that you glue/staple/tape (may require adult supervision hehe) to form a linking chain. Each day that passes you tear off a link. So you can form a countdown thats interactive and fun for the whole family!

They are 8.5"wide and 1.5"tall. Its saved as a .jpeg for a peice of 8.5x11 printer paper. I have 9 sheets total with 7 "links" on each sheet. Just print, cut the link and build your chain!

If anybody would like me to email these to you please PM with your email address.

(I work second shift so I wont be able to email them until Saturday)

Thanks for reading!

(I forgot to add.. They are Disney themed! I'm sure you knew that)

While I was at Home Depot picking up the LGMHPC I also picked up a bunch of all the other colors, 2 of each at a time and made a big necklace like thing with a countdown on them, then I hung it up and each night we take one down. The kids take turns taking one down. On day 45 I even wrote payday on it, because that is when my final payment is due. Anything to help pass the time quicker.
