A new pet??
Is it a tree frog? A parakeet? A gecko? A dog? A cat? A rabbit? A hamster? Sea monkeys? A Hermit crab? A pet rock? A sugar glider? A chinchilla? A pig? A turtle?
nope, nope and nope!
Those were all good guesses, but NOPE.
yes, our new "pet" is a snail.
*rolling eyes*
honestly, i didn't think too much about him when the kids brought him inside the other day. they bring all sorts of creatures in, and want to keep them. so, i found a jar for them to make him a little home and they set it on the kitchen counter. surely, they'd forget about him within a few minutes and then he'd be sent back outside to where he belongs.
NOPE.
wrong again.
two days later, i found my dear daughter letting him take a stroll across my kitchen table
no joke.
i kid you not!
so, i guess its official, and he won't be going anywhere soon.
as a matter of fact,
he had a new little friend join him this morning..
i think we should give them names...
what'd ya think?
iggy and squiggy?
(thanks sweet twitter friends, you've nearly written my whole blog post today with all your guesses!)
i honestly didn't even know what a sugar glider was and had to look it up. they are kinda cute.

a little about me and a little about you!
One of my twitter friends My Little Girls Closet has posted "a little about me and a little about you!" on her blog. I figured i'd join in on the fun! Here are my answers.
Want to join in?
Take the first word of each line and fill in the rest! Post it on your blog and come back and link me!
Making: a mess, as usual
Cooking: yup it sure is! so stinkin hot out there.
Drinking: coffee...only i lost my cup...where did that go?
Reading: i think i've forgotten how.
Wanting: something to eat. im hungry.
Looking: at the little boy in pink training pants who is carrying around a package of crushed saltines in his mouth...i sure hope it doesn't open up and spill crumbs all over, but it probably will.
Playing: mind games with a toddler.
Wasting: the day away...sitting here at the computer.
Sewing: nothing...i should really start a new project, huh?
Wishing: someone would make me a whopper of a salad. i told you i was hungry.
Enjoying: the sleeping baby next to me.
Waiting: for that salad.
Liking: this summer vacation.
Wondering: what i should do with the half rotten raspberries the girls picked yesterday.
Loving: my three yr olds mop of curls.
Hoping: that i rains. don't ask me why.
Marvelling: at the mess on my kitchen floor...didn't it just get mopped yesterday?
Needing: to switch the laundry, again.
Smelling: nothing...thankfully.
Wearing: my favorite camo pants..YAY! they fit again.
Following: a trail of cracker crumbs.
Noticing: that its lunch time.
Knowing: that i have to get up and find something to feed the monkeys
Thinking: about running away..ok, maybe not...or maybe just till after lunch.
Bookmarking: cloth diapers...yeah, my newest obsession.
Opening: a can of paint (in my mind)
Giggling: at the thought of painting my girls bedroom...its gonna be bright orange.
Feeling: like its time for a nap.
