Of course the kids see me knitting these.

But I've been able to convince them that we just need more blanket to snuggle with on the couch during family movie night. Only the oldest has wondered why they are not actually on the couch. I have told her that they are not "completely" complete. This is techinically true.......none of them have my labels on them yet :o)

Not such a great picture, but this is the praying matis egg case hatching. The babies are wriggling out of the bottom of the egg case. It was quite exciting to watch.
A little better shot of the baby mantis. They are actually quite cute!
