EATING BETTER

Since we took the tray off Violet's booster seat and pushed her up to the table she's been eating much better. I think she's been fighting us to be more independent. I just didn't like the messes but I'll have to let it go for now.

FIRE IN THE SKY

Sunset last night.

PRETTY BOWS

Violet's hair is getting quite long. I can almost get it all in two ponytails now. She managed to keep the bows in for a couple of hours before pulling hem out.

PILLAGING & PLUNDERING

A better pic from Chris' phone. Still a little blurry but funny.

US TOY

Not a great picture. We went to US Toy and tried on many hats. We also got some fake food to put away for xmas and got ideas for building a little stove and sink.

ROCKSTAR!

Violet's getting better about keeping her sunglasses on.

Mmmmm.....chocolate malt.

STUFFED MAGAZINE VOL II

I've got work again in Stuffed Magazine. This is Volume 2 that will hit stores Wednesday July 1st. I found the last issue, January's issue, at Borders. So I'm guessing it's pretty easy to find.
Though I didn't make the front cover my name did. Of course they spelled it wrong, but that's ok.

BOX O'BABIES

Here's what we did inside yesterday because it was too hot.
Violet still loves boxes. She filled it up with all her babies then pushed it all around the kitchen.

ALL DONE!!

We completed the swing set today. Violet only got to play on it for a about 20min before bedtime today. It was so hot today we just couldn't go out. It looks like that might be the trend for a while too. It'll be a lot of fun when it cools off a little and all her neighborhood buddies can come play.

Right now we are borrowing our neighbors baby swing till we get ours.

Here's the back. It's supposed to have a rope climbing ladder, but we're waiting to put it on once everyone is a little older.

GUEST HOUSE

We are very, very close to being finished. The side that holds the swings isn't level and will need some adjusting before we can add the swings. Chris and I had to take yesterday off work to get a majority of it done or we'd still be putting it together in August. Over the past week we've had some neighbors help out so we decided to buy them some pizza this evening and let the kids play on what was finished. I'll get some better pictures of it tomorrow when we finish it up.

MOVING SLOWLY

We've got the frame up and it's nice and level. Violet's been busy bossing us around and complaining that we're moving to slowly. It's because it's almost 100. Every time we begin an outdoor project we get the hottest days of the year.
