Pet Turtle
So this morning before Jason and I headed off to apply lettering at a school, he came across this little turtle in our yard. We decided to let the kids have him for a pet, at least for the day.

I grew up with pets, but I am not a big pet person myself. I have four pet children that poop and get into things they shouldn't. They make smells and leave stuff out all over. No pets for me either. Our kids consider the lizards that live in our back wall their pets. They have caught a grasshopper before and thought he could be their pet until they realized how suddenly he jumped.
