A boat, some scissors, and a lot of little paper

We bought a big clock for our family room that came in a big, flat box which has become Grace and Eve's new favorite toy. Grace calls it her boat and piles all of her toys into it as if she were actually going on a long voyage! And she's not alone;Captain Grace has a first mate...Eve. Eve likes to crawl into the "boat" and just sit there assessing the cargo as the captain shouts at her to "not touch her things!" Its hard not to laugh.

A couple of young women in my ward asked me a few weeks ago if I could show them how to scrapbook. So, even though I'm not the best scrapbooker, I told them I'd be happy to help. So Erika and Adela have been coming over to scrapbook with me. It's been a lot of fun to have them over. Grace always looks forward to them coming (she thinks they are coming over to play with her!) and it has gotten me to scrapbook a lot more. They came over again yesterday and Grace wanted to "work on her book" too. So I pulled out her little scissors, crayons and some fun paper and let her be creative. She mostly just cut her paper into many tiny pieces. It was fun!
