Exciting Weekend

I am realizing how close to being completely and totally occupied we are.  So this weekend we went on a drive up to Salt Lake to have a little last minute fun.  As you know, Nick and I have a hobby of keeping fish tanks.  He had found a couple little aquarium stores up in Sandy area that we wanted to go and check out.  They were actually decent, nothing compared to our usual aquarium store in Draper, but we ended up adding two new little guys to our 20 gallon tank.  They are called shell dwellers....you probably guessed, they dwell in shells.  Haha, we had a couple before, but they got eaten.....these we couldn't pass up because  they were full  grown.  There's some conflict in the tank right now though because our newcomer from a weekend or two before pretty much hates them.  So we had to do some fancy decorating to give them all separate spaces.

Then we realized we were foodless and went to Sam's.  Nick also decided we should add to our store of diapers so we bought a couple boxes of diapers and wipes.  The lady at the door that checks receipts looked in our cart and went, what are those for?  I went all red as Nick pointed to my belly and said, for him.  Then she was like, she's tinier than a little water mellon!  Haha, I guess I should be flattered.  I pretty much feel huge though.

And happy Sunday, I decided I wanted to make a pretty Easter display.  So last week I had gotten a couple things of egg dye, a basket and some eggs.  I like my eggs to last a while, so I poke holes in them and blow all the goo out.  I'd done it before in college, my roommates and I then hung them from the ceiling and there they remained for the rest of the semester.  Phil came over to visit tonight, and when he and Nick walked in he door, I was sitting at the table blowing the eggs out making all sorts of funny noises.  Haha, then end result was very pretty though, cuz I also covered them in glitter.

And the last thing we did was watch the new Narnia movie.  I must say I was very impressed!  I loved the line in the end where Aslan tells Lucy and Edmund that in their world he has another name and they must come to know him by that name.  He said that knowing him in Narnia for a little while would help them to know him better in their world.  I never imagined to see something like that in a mainstream movie and I loved it.  I think there need to be more movies out there that point people to Christ because media is so used and accessible.  Plus it was a breath of fresh air.  C.S. Lewis had an amazing understanding.  If you haven't read Chronicles of Narnia, you really should take a look!  The last paragraph of the last book is amazing. 

Anyhoo, gotta go help Nick.  We are animal people....tonight we are setting up a terrarium for our newest additions:  a couple leopard geckos!  I'll have some awesome pictures of them tomorrow, fear not. Goodnight all
