Even though life has been busy we always make time for fun!
Lately, Ryan has made a fun creature...

And built a fun fort outside!

We made sure Violet got her holiday haircut, complete with Halloween bandana.

Ryan is such a joy to my life. He has afternoon kindergarten so we get to spend our mornings together. We both love to hang out in the backyard with Violet. Often Ryan plays on the fort as I read my scriptures and Violet lays in the sun. It is nice for us to be enjoying the cooler weather.

Other good news!
I have a neighbor/friend of mine that gave me a box of chipboard! I have so much that I would love to share.

It is not all that thick. I'm needing to plan a trip to Making Memories Unforgettable, a local scrapbook store, to use their die-cut machines to cut it into different shapes. Then I can stamp it, paint it or leave it plain. Their machines will handle this stuff just great. I like that this is thin enough to play with but thick enough that I want to try to use it to make small scrapbook albums with it.

Let me know if you are interested in some free chipboard, I'd love to share.
