Back to craft now. We did Sculpy clay for the first time. Iris LOVED it. She started out making a person, then it got a "boo-boo" so it needed a band-aid. The band-aid kept growing and growing. Now it has a bandage on the back and front, and the top bandage has a belly button... don't ask me! I made a rose that I am pretty darn proud of :)
So, that brings us to today, and of course, that also brings us to another side story... Fish died on Monday morning :( It was a sad day in our house, but the kids took it very well. They are still talking about us flushing fish lol. Well, tuesday, we cleaned the tank really well, cleaned Fish's buddy (a cement turtle) off and put him on the memorial shelf with all our animals ashes, and threw away a few of the older plants. Yesterday, and Iris and I got the water tested to make sure that it was safe to add a new fish to and today, we went to pick out a new fish:
He is currently named "Fish 2", he got TWO new "friends": a pineapple hideaway and an ambulance, new red/orange/yellow rocks, and an orange/yellow plant. He is SOOO active compared to Fish 1. He is ALL over the tank up and down, side to side, he NEVER stops! I guess that is the difference between a 5 year old fish and a young fish!!
And, now back to Craft again: Iris and Penny wanted to make dolls. I had no idea how to make a doll for craft, and mike decided to make felt cut-out dolls. So, while Penny napped, Mike and I sat at the table for an hour and cut out two dolls, pants, shirts, skirts, dresses, shoes, shorts, a bathing suit, hair, etc etc etc... Iris even made a few "accessories" while we worked. Then, Mike hot glued little pieces of velcroe to clothes. The girls then got the "dress" them...and this is what was left!
