looky there!

first of all...i know, i've been a bad blogger lately...sorry. that said, on with the post...

i would like to introduce you to my new friend snappy.


steve picked out his name...clever don't you think. steve also ran over him with the lawn mover last night. note the battle scars on the top of his shell.



steve roll in the house with this grass covered rock, which i quickly realized was a turtle. we cleaned him (or her, not sure) off, and waited for the emergence of a head and legs from the shell. after a while, snappy was crawling all over the kitchen counters, and of course i had to grab the camera...the last time a saw one of these things close enough to touch was when i was about 10. the dogs also found snappy amusing. brynn wanted nothing to do with the shell, but trey was ready for a snack...snappy wanted nothing to do with the dogs.

after about an hour, we put snappy back outside...steve was ready to keep him until he realized it was another mouth to feed...about an hour after that he was gone. i felt like a kid again, and it was fun. Enjoy the photos of snappy.

You're such a trip and you'll be such a great mom with your two (or more!) boys since you got such a kick out of Snappy. Fine name, btw.

These are the things that I try to keep OUT of my house...
