Taylor the Turtle

so the frozen "pond" behind our house has melted (with a little help from all the non- stop rain) into a little explorers wonderland. the kids went "frog hunting" this past weekend. the catching wasn't too difficult, it was the "keeping" that was tricky since they were using a lacrosse net :)
however, syd did manage to snag a very terrified turtle named Taylor. We kept her for the day and the kids made a nice home for her, not missing any details. she was lovingly cared for, watched, held, and smothered. did you know that turtles hiss?....its true they do.


okay, so i just think this ones cute. perhaps we should change her diaper more :)

Wow Natalie! I am very impressed! You are very good with your kids...letting them go turtle catching! I'll send my kids your way...I'd think they'd have a blast with you!

By the way...I loved Stella's diaper!
