Today's Creature is...

Am-phi-vee-bians

“How many are your works, O Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number-living things both large and small.” ~ Psalm 104:24-25

Today I picked the Roosters up from school to find Nick chasing after a frog.  I guess I forgot to say yesterday, but I don't really have a fondness for frogs either.  I'm not really afraid of them, but I definitely don't want to touch one.  Nick caught the little creature and wanted to take it home.  Um, no way!  I could just see that thing getting loose in my car on the ride home.  I talked Rooster into taking the poor thing across the street and letting it go in "the most perfect frog yard ever."  On the trip home, I got to hear all about "amphiveebians," as Nick calls them.  John Ryan feels about the same as I do about frogs.  He was busy digging in his lunch box.

Speaking of the Roosters' lunch boxes, they dig into them time they get in the car.  I don't get it as I know they have snack in aftercare.  I usually only let the boys eat crackers or chips on the ride home, but today they talked me into eating their yogurt.  Not a good idea.  The picture below tells the story. 

 

Ask me how yogurt ended up on the window and running down the side of the door?  It seems that the Roosters were not happy with each other on the ride home from school today and this is the result of trying to claw each other in car seats.  There is a reason I call them "Roosters."

 

This is the "creature of the day."

 

 

You know, as I look at this creature, he sort of has an intelligent expression, doesn't he?  I'm wondering if there may be something to those frog/prince stories??  Hmmm....

 

 

Snack eating after picking up a frog and playing in the sandbox at school.  Guess what?  No hand sanitizer!  Ugh!

 

Ham and cheese cracker sandwich.  I took these food pictures while we were waiting on Blake to get finished with weight lifting.

 

 

Sleeping Rooster.  I couldn't help but add this precious picture to the batch today.  After Nick got ready for school, he laid (is that the correct verb?) down on my bed and went back to sleep.  I love to watch all three Roosters sleep.  Such peace.  Sigh.
