I Give Up...


I'm an indoor girl...I like air conditioning, I like TV, I like my handy dandy computer and my cool camera gadgets. I do like to venture into the outdoors for the chance to photograph some super cute kids (including my own). I even enjoyed sitting through Noah's t ball games, and I do love love love to venture outside in the fall with the leaves are all crackly.

However, I do not like mud, snakes, rodents, bugs, etc etc etc. However, I am the mother of a five year old boy who cannot get enough of the above. You remember the post about the fire bellied frogs? Well we have progressed. We now are the proud owners of a river turtle (not a snapping turtle) that lives in a little cage in Noah's bedroom, a case full of worms (the nasty fat yellow and black kind that SPIT...yes I said spit) and Oh yes, this afternoon Noah managed to capture a praying mantis the size of my hand. (Look out Ms. Lesley, I think he wants to bring it to school)

What next??? Wait don't answer that, I'm afraid it will be something with fangs...

oh my, hope they don't get out of their cages..... I'd be scared to death, worm, bug, whatever.

Fun - just like Uncle Scott - I grew up in the barn, creeks and ponds on our farm. Everyday was a home-made adventure. He's pretty muddy in that shot though!
