While I was writing the last entry about the snails the two oldest were playing outside.  When they came back home they brought this:

 What in the...

 Kenz explained that they just loved their snails so much they thought they would go get some more.  I tried to explain to her that these were water snails and we could not keep water snails because well, what in the world would we put them in???  So I told her to pack them up and take them back out to the water she found them in.  She packed them up, then proceeded to spilled them all over the kitchen floor.  Sigh.  Then she finally got them out of the house.  Within 30 minutes she returned with two frogs.

FOR.THE.LOVE.

While their sister has been out hunting (I heard her tell her dad the other night that he needs to teach her how to hunt.  Who is this child?) pets these two caught a miserable summer cold.
