Snips & Snails & Puppy-dog tails

I have to admit, I honestly love having boys. Growing up with four brothers I always wanted to be a boy. I got over that but I didn't get over my love of playing outside in the dirt. I'm a lucky woman.
A snake
And then there were two snakes.
And a lizard. All in all, I'd say it was a pretty good afternoon.
And to finish it all off, is anything better than cookies?
Not a word was uttered.Are children born with a dessert sensor? How come they never say, "What's that? I don't like it." when we're dishing up ice cream or cake? How come it doesn't take 17 times of trying it for them to like it?
Maybe it's because this guy is one heck of a cookie maker.


C'mon down third son!

Thanks for the pictures, it made me think of your dad and brothers and the bug collection again. Did you get to go on the bug hunts,too?

Yes, bug hunts! They deserve a post all to themselves. I did get to go on many a hunts and loved every one. Who knew that such a strange hobby could be so good for building familial relationships? I really need to write a post on this...
