yesterday was fun! July 5, 2007

Filed under: amigurumi — gnathalie2 @ 1:34 pm

me and the kids had lots of fun yesterday!!  Luis brought home a dinky package of fireworks, the kind that just ’sparkle’, but it ended up pretty cool!!  The batteries in the camera died so i don’t have pictures of it.  Madaleine was the most excited about the fireworks, she’s planning a birthday party around them!!  I also made a fish.  His name is Fancy Feast because the cat kept eyeballing him the whole time i was making it.
