Children...so good for your self esteem

Today #4 brought came over with our wedding photo album in his hand and said:

"Mom looks more pretty in this book."

Its true. I was "more pretty" back then. That was 11 years and more than many pounds ago. (Not to mention I was wearing my wedding dress and a little make-up). I am going to choose to look at it optimistically. Pretty is pretty...I will take what I can get, so I will take it as a compliment. If he had just said that I was pretty back then it could be taken to mean that I am no longer pretty, and since he clearly said MORE pretty...that means he was definitely saying that I am pretty now...just not as pretty as I was all those inches and that wedding dress ago. Thank you son for the unintended compliment!

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
