Come laugh with me....

Jonah: I would love a duck for a pet
Anna: A duck? That would be too loud!
Jonah: It's only loud with lots of ducks. One duck wouldn't be loud.
Mom: I think Dad hatched ducks once. You should ask him about ducks.
Jonah: ..(pause)....Mom.....Did he sit on the eggs?
Now, that had me rolling on the floor.

I overheard this conversation when they were picking up a huge mess.
Jonah: Anna, do you want to be a king and queen? Then we wouldn't have to do any work.
Anna: That's a great idea. Our servants could do all the work.
Jonah: How do you think we could get that job?

Did I mention that they are obsessed? Completely, totally, utterly obsessed. Our garter snake population is terrorized on a regular basis. These guys can catch a snake in minutes. Even Eli can catch them now.

Do you know what this is? Yep, it's snake scat. One of their snakes pooped out worms. It was a surprise since snake poop doesn't usually look like this. How sad that even I know this. The kids now know when their snakes are going to poop, and they even wipe the snakes' butts. How nice. I guess they needed to figure it all out after one of the snakes pooped all over Jonah's leg. Completely gross. Our one snake rule is that you have to be 2yo to touch them. Sarah wants to play with the snakes, but mean Mom won't let her.
