Snails

This morning we took advantage of the nice weather and went outside to work in the yard. As I was pulling weeds I found some snails and took them over to show the boys. I ended up finding five of them, even a cute little tiny one. Ethan played with these snails for a good half an hour before it was time to go inside for lunch. It was fun to listen to him play with them. He would line them up for a "snail race" and he was assigning them to be the Mommy, Daddy, baby, etc.

He even stacked them up to make a "snail castle"

It took some convincing to get him to put them back in the dirt to come inside. He really had a great time with his little snail family.

Good thing you got him to put them back in the dirt. Ashley fell in love with snails when I was gardening once and every since she would make little houses for them and bring them in the house. It drove Jeff crazy when they would escape and you would find one on the kitchen table the next morning.
