Happy Laundry

I had to share this.
I was washing a batch of towels so I could carry one around (It's Douglas Adams Day) and after the machine finished I opened it up to find an amusing surprise.

Yes, that's a smiley face refrigerator magnet.  No idea how it got in there (well, I've got five kids so some idea...) but it looked so cheerful after taking a ride in the washing machine so I grabbed my camera to share the happiness.

Not just ANY rock, a blue rock.

I have been put in charge of the Bear Den for our Cub Scouts.
First activity I'm in charge of is
Nature Crafts, Elective 12, 10 kinds of rocks, collect them and label them and display them.
I don't know beans about rocks.
Kylie, my seven year-old, has collected a lot of pretty rocks over the years and we have given her some polished stones to really perk up her collection.
Here are some great sites I've found to help me figure out what rocks we have.
We've got one blue and white swirly rock that I still have no clue what it is, it's pretty but I can't use it without a name.

We are also doing the seeds but I can do those.  The other activity is the five kinds of shells, I'm working on that one...
