This morning my Mom came over with a small turtle she saved from the road. Oh my goodness, the excitement in the house!!! We explained to the kids that he was saved from the middle of the road and after we got cleaned up we would return him to his home. He was quickly named "Shelly" by Addison because he has a shell. I'm not sure that turtle knew what happened to him and I'm not sure he will ever fully recover from the 30 minutes he spent in our home. He clawed to excape the clothes basket prison we held him in while 8 little hands desperately tried to sneak in a touch despite our strict instructions not to touch. The squeals and noise I'm sure had him shaking in his shell. I pulled out my camera to capture the moment which set Cody off... he wanted to take a picture too. I went up and got a couple viewfinders which Cody and Kaylee used as cameras (perhaps they will be wildlife photographers). We loaded Shelly up in the car and drove to where he was found and set him free... I then listened to Kaylee cry for 10 minutes so sad and pitiful... she missed Shelly. Jadon proclaimed that he loves all the turtles and loves Shelly.
Back at the house, the kids played outside and were having so much fun that I let them eat outside. According to Jadon I'm the best Mommy on the whole earth face.

Oh... Also, thanks to everyone who follows our blog. I know our life isn't the most exciting (but I want to document it for my children), but thought it was pretty cool to actually have 50 followers!

ONE OF THE SWEETEST BOYS ON THE WHOLE EARTH FACE
I know I keep leaving the same comment - but beautiful pictures. I have to comment.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous that you can eat outside. Looks like fun. Still too cold and windy here.
Look at you! Cutest mom ever - unfair! I keep saying I'm going to do a self-portrait, but what I see in my head doesn't match what I see on the screen - LOL! I look GREAT in my head - ha! :-)
