Shopping Lists

It is Pinewood Derby Season here. This year is #2's first year doing the Pinewood Derby and he is very excited about it. He is a hands on kind of kid that really wants to do the car himself with minimal help (which is as it should be.) In perusing our tools we realized that we needed a couple of things for him to complete his car, so he made me the above shopping list. In case his writing is hard to read it says:
Moms Shoping List
1. coping Saw
2. Sand paper
3. graphite graphite cadbury
4. candy (m8ms, or cadberrey cream eggs, skittles, starburst,
and any wonka candy
I am not sure what the 4th item/items on the list have to do with Pinewood Derby racing. I think he was just hoping I would get whatever he put on the list. Sneaky kid.

Thinking it may have been a baby snail with an undeveloped shell, I kept it for several weeks, but eventually I gave up on it being a snail and set it free. 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
