Zip A Dee Doo Dah!

Our kids love to play in the backyard but we are limited on flat space so we have never splurged on a swing set. Michael decided it was time to enhance the play time in our yard and we purchased a zip line! 

We ordered the zip line from Amazon.com. Since Camille and Clyde are still fairly young, Michael decided we needed to add a seat so they weren't as far from the ground. He cut the seat into a circle and then spray painted it blue. He added the rope and then attached to the zip line with a carabiner. 




He also made the steps for the tree and cleverly angled the feet so that they would stick in the ground and stay against the tree without sliding. 




Everybody is loving it so far!

And Camille's is from CutiesTieDyeBoutique . They worked with me to do a chevron background to match the invitation. For the goodie bags, I purchased the red bags from the Dollar Tree . And then free hand cut the

Snow day....

Camille with my niece, Vail We woke up yesterday to an unexpected snow day! Woohoo! There is snow on the ground but I am thinking spring ! I tried on this cute dress at Kohl's earlier this week. It was more expensive in store than online! I left it in the store but am still thinking about it especially with the $32 price tag. Could be nice for Easter if it is chilly.
