Fang comes to stay

 John is the Finder of Dinosaurs, we hereby proclaim this fact on the Internet to make the statement last FOREVER. FOR EVAH!!!

John (The Finder of Dinosaurs) found Fang, a blue T. Rex, and sent him, via Kate, to live at our house. He has a foolish look, and flappy hands, (Alice says he is saying "HUUUUGGGGG" All. The. Time. She would know.) and two fangs that stick out, and the same beady little eyes that the rest of the crew have, and the same great smile that the rest of the crew has. Thank you John - Thank you Very Very VERY VERY MUCH!!!!!!!

Because it is almost 100 degrees Fahrenheit around here, and also July is National Ice Cream Month, it seemed like making ice cream was the order of the afternoon. So Lee stirred up sugar and half&half and eggs and a bag of frozen raspberries.
Fang taste tested it,

 and we poured it into the freezer.

Alice and Fang and Lee all took turns turning the handle.

It felt like it took a long time to freeze into ice cream. Fang stared longingly into the freezer watching the paddle go around.

To distract the dinosaurs while the ice cream hardened, we played with glowsticks. Also there were thunderstorms building up around us, and thunder booming and lightning flashing. So, just in case the electricity went out, we made glowstick necklaces and bracelets and crowns for everyone.

This is what Fang looked like as a silhouette.

Everyone wanted to get into the picture too. This is what Rusty and Basil and Peep and Gracie and Rufus and Beep and Fang look like with the glowsticks.

This is what they all looked like when I tweaked the picture a lot. It is easier to see everyone's face, but I kind of like the glowsticks looking all mysterious in the other picture.

Peep took a glowstick upstairs to Sunshine, who is recuperating in the workroom. She her skin grafts to heal before she has her picture taken.

And that is how Fang came to our house.
