Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails.....

...that's what MY little boys are made of.
Good grief, they came in the house with a 'find' today. A spine of some sort...some remnant of an animal or bird long past. I would have been content knowing that was in our backyard..but not the boys. They had to do some searching for more. At the end of an hour looking under leaves in the corner of the yard, they managed to find a tail (fur still attached, thank you very much), a leg bone or something like it, and the monster of all finds.....the skull. Completely intact bones and teeth, just mysteriously detached from it's other little squirrel parts. Oh, they also found some peanut shells.....assumably from the stomach or cheeks. BLAH!
This was better than any adventure money can buy.

The kids are absolutely filthy.....Tomorrow is one of those days where we're gone by 7am and not home until 12 hours later.....I'm starting a diet tomorrow, or is it Sunday....or maybe it's Monday...I can't remember.....and I just finished my 189th budget list...it looks the same as the 188th.

Lighthearted moment of the day.....Tanner in the car on the way to the park asked me if I was proud of him. I said "Yes, I am." "Every day?" he asked. "Every single day"
Tony just came in and stopped before rushing back out, excited to continue with the archiological dig, and said "mom, this is the best day every" Hmm...think it will always be that easy?
