Sometimes they are just smarter than we are...

Today was a particularly stressful day for me and I was pretty frazzled by dinner time. I was just looking forward to the boys going to bed so I could have some peace and quiet. As they were getting ready for bed I was playing a computer game online, trying to relax and #5 aka C came and asked to sit on my lap. I wasn't really in the mood, I just wanted to have some time without any kids or anyone else bothering me, so I told him to go ask Daddy to sit on HIS lap. So off he trotted, and he came back a few minutes later and said.
"I asked Dad and he said it was okay for me to sit on your lap." And of course he said it with a perfectly sweet and serious tone. Either I am not a good communicator, or he is just too smart for me.

I know that snails and slugs are pretty much the same thing, but I just can't stomach the thought of feeding slugs for some reason. Snails, I can handle. Near the start of the school year I was walking home from the school with #3 and #4 and I chanced upon a snail crossing the sidewalk. I stopped the boys and had them come and look at it. My intention was to look at it, and then let it go on its slow but merry way. Then I saw a second snail just off of the sidewalk, and I couldn't resist. #1 was pretty sad when Claireford died ( Claireford is named after Cliff and Claire Hu
