Moving Gina and Richard and Ladies Craft Night

Here are a whole bunch of pictures of the kids, Gina and Richard's new house, moving day, laundry night and our First Monthly Ladies Craft night!

The kids were so interested in Uncle Nate's morning grapefruit, he ended up sharing the whole thing with them, each eagerly waiting their turn for a bite.

What are we looking at???

Doing laundry at Jeff and Julie's Classic Wash

We filled all but 5 of the small washers and all of the dryers. Lots of bedding and some clothes but there was more to do! A family of 5 has a lot of laundry!

Westin was finding this fascinating

In the dryers!

We had a great turn out for our first craft night. We are looking forward to making this a monthly event. We will rotate who hosts the event and the project will be different and the hostess gets to choose it.

Fish and Snails

I recently cleaned my fish tank and since it looks so nice I just had to take some pictures of it and share them with you all!

Plus, I got some good close up shots of my snail. You can see the lines on it of how much it has grown since I got it from Travis V.

I have 6 big fish and 2 babies.

Three of the fish are from Travis V. They have survived! I have also gotten some new ones and there are two babies still alive from the several batches that have been born in the tank. You can see the two little ones in the small tank at the top left.

Oh, and I almost forgot the one baby guppy that survived as well, the silver flash.

Click on these and get a really close up look at a snail!

Ladies Craft Night

We are starting a Ladies Craft Night up here and our first project will be turning pants into a skirt. I have made several for my nieces and I have started a whole bunch for me too.

Here are some pictures.
