Slug

Oliver came home at noon today!  He immediately began to hunt for slugs:

He found a lot of them on this drain lid thingy.  




He wanted Mommy to hold one.
(Mommy kind of has a thing for that slug.)
But not the slime that got all over her fingers!

Narcissus bulbs are blooming!


Roly Poly hunting!

Successful Roly Poly Hunter!

In the evening we finally watched the rest of Aladdin
with Oliver's horse.


We liked the magic carpet ride!

A Whole New World.  (Dreamy.)

Mommy wrote "Fourteen" Magazine, when she was fourteen.

Sarah, Jessica's best bud from grade school and beyond
 wanted to walk down memory lane.
Waylon liked looking at his Mama!

(Mommy has always liked writing and taking pictures.)



Silly.  So glad Grammie has kept the magazine!
