Snail Captives

Today was so nice once the rain started. We were driving and they were both SO excited when we'd hit a puddle and splash through it. When we got home they decided to pretend it was much cooler than it really was, and changed clothes to play outside.
Then we picked Jess up from work, and they were SO excited to see a bunch of snails on the sidewalk when we got home. We let them collect snails for a good hour out there. They had them all in a pile, and were having the cutest conversations. Cason would bring one over and everytime he told her "Look Paige, anu-one (another one) snail". Or "I found it." Paige always said "I saw. I found one too."
Then they moved them to this rock, and every time one came near the edge Cason yelled "Snail trying SCAPE!"
Then he'd move them to the middle and tell Paige "I SAVE him!"

Paige gave them each a name. I heard "Olidia", "Maliala", "Malica", "Paulino" and MANY more.

LOL...your kids are so awesome. Maybe we should just let Paige name our babies. :)

Haha. They'd definitely have some unique names.

Excellent names, as usual.

On a side note, I was playing Scrabble on my phone yesterday, and apparently "jess" IS a real word. It means: "to fasten straps around the legs of a hawk." This whole time I just thought Barbie and Karl just made up some half-name because they HAD to. Who knew?

Some half-name. Haha. Actually Jess has told me that little piece of hawk-handling trivia. Interesting.
