Stake conference was wonderful and I made lots of cool doodles on my notes. I also was handed an opportunity I've been seeking for a long time, so good day at church overall.

my apple snails that I got in the snail mail from a friend on Furaffinity are laying eggs tonight... they have appeared to be mating for several days, so we have been hoping they would. it was cool that we actually got to watch her lay a few of them. My daughter Angie is very excited about the snail eggs because she has been very much wanting an apple snail of her own.

After church we carved pumpkins: Howl's Moving Castle themed pumpkins. I wanted to make Calcifer, I thought he'd be good, being made of fire, but Roy's pumpkin was more suitable for that project. We we agreed I would draw it and he would carve it out. Therefor Aubyn decided she wanted to make her pumpkin Howl. I drew that one too, according to her choice of scene and how to adapt it. she wanted him when he's laughing but in that picture his eyes were closed, and she wanted them open so I did eyes based on another picture. I doubt anyone but me and her could tell it was Howl but It doesn't matter because she was happy and carved it well and joyfully. Me and Angie thought Turnip Head was the perfect subject for a pumpkin, since he was already just a carved vegetable, so she decided to make him: her pumpkin was the perfect shape for that. I had the large lumpy pumpkin, which I had originally envisioned carving as a witch....so I decided to attempt old Sophie [the worst kind of witch the kind who cleans]. Again, you wouldn't guess it was her unless you knew, but we all had fun and ended up with some very interesting pumpkin sculptures in the end. I'll post photos in a few days.

I'm so behind on answering comments or looking what my friends have posted, I hope to have time to get caught up soon.
