Attack of the Killer Squid

So Doug's parents sent Sophia one of those animals that you put in water and then they grow. We were a little skeptical about the claim on the package that the sea squid would grow 600 times its original size (it was originally about 1 inch long). Boy were we surprised! Apparently they make these toys a little different down in Brazil (or maybe there's something in the water here in Payson.) It's now Sophia's favorite new bath toy. She loves to ride it around the bath.


In other news Lilly went to her first real church experience today. She slept through the whole thing and didn't wake up until there was about 20 minutes left in Relief Society. Sophia on the other hand only made it through about half of church thanks to her lovely ability to throw up whenever she gets herself worked up (she did not want to stay in nursery...again) Doug took her home early.

One more note about that crazy girl. Tonight while we were driving home from my parent's house she was getting a little restless so Doug told her it was time for quiet time where we don't say anything and just sit and think about Jesus. After about 5 minutes of this I started to say something (completely forgetting it was quiet time apparently) when Sophia piped up and said, "Be quiet mom. It's quiet time." Thanks for the reminder Sophs!

Okay, so it really didn't grow 600 times its size. Here's how big it really got.

You had us going there. We were TICKED that our turtle didn't get huge like your squid. Apparently we didn't use radioactive water. We were SERIOUSLY ticked. Then we read the rest of the post. Our turtle got about that big. Thanks for the laughs!

You had me going too! I was thinking- AWESOME! I WANT ONE OF THOSE!! pretty crazy and tricky guys! You are excellent photoshopers. I love when babies sleep through all of church- good job Lilly. Sorry about the stomach bug or whatever Sophie. Sometimes nursery makes me want to throw up too, so it is ok.

Funny!!! I was thinking it was sort of disturbing that Sophie liked a giant green friend, and I couldn't really picture it fitting in the tub. That's hilarious. :)
