We're Going on a Snail Hunt, a Snail Hunt, a Snail Hunt












Grace and Sarah have been early risers lately. They were up at 5:45 this morning in spite of my efforts to get them to go back to sleep. After a quick bowl of oatmeal and Cheerios, they were ready to start their day with a backyard snail hunt. Grace came and asked for a Ziploc bag to put her snails in so they couldn't "slime away from her", and the hunt was on. By 6:30am our backyard was filled with the sounds of "here snail, snail, snail" and "where are you snail?" At least we don't have to buy snail bait!

Such bitter sweet moments, aren't they? Reading them is bitter sweet as well; I miss them so much! I think I tear up every time I read something new.
