i’ve had two cups of coffee and still i’m not feeling awake. i need to get a shopping list together and pack up the kids and head out. its going to rain some more, too.

yesterday, my husband finished the rest of the lawn. i was asleep when he started and woke up when i heard him turn on the mower and came out to find the kids had fallen asleep on the couch. daecon had come in for a second to get a drink and brought me to the door to show me a small box turtle in a box. simon’s going to love that!

so a few minutes later the lawn mower cuts off and daecon comes in asking for a large jar or something else to put this frog in. ooo! a turtle AND a frog, even better. my mom would be having fits by now, she’s not big on reptiles and small furry rodents. i can attest to this by my great dissapointment as a child that i wasn’t allowed to have a pet snake. we compromised on gerbils and guinea at one point. the gerbils didn’t go so well, but the guinea pig was great fun.

anyway, about 20 minutes later the kids wake up and when daecon gets in from mowing we show them the animals. OH! what fun! we explained to be careful around the turtle because they like to eat worms and little fingers might be mistaken for worms.

so fun ensues until the frog escapes and hops away. we’ve looked everywhere. under things, in things, over things, moved furniture. no frog. felicity cries over the frog and i’m secretly hoping the cat gets to it first before we hone in on it because of the smell.

simon wants to take the turtle to bed. nope, turtle stays in its box until morning, and then we are going to let it go after breakfast. more crying for bedtime, but this morning things went well enough. i showed simon that his tomato plant has blossoms on it. this distracted him in a discussion on when we would get actual tomatoes. i hope soon, becuase i want him to be excited next year about a garden.

felicity is currently re-decorating the house with mardi-gra beads.
