Turtle Art

Yesterday Jesse had collected 8 turtles by 8:30am. Now that's a good day ....for most 4 year old boys.....but especially for Jesse, who loves turtles, snakes and all things reptilian or amphibian! He could hardly contain his excitement. I had to go to work for a few hours, but Aunt Angela helped him make a temporary habitat so that he could keep them and play with them until Hunter and Faith got home from school. Then they painted all the turtles' shells and had a turtle release party!!

As multicolor turtles marched off through the grass, Jesse said "Mama, do you think their friends will like their beautiful shells?"

"I think they will love it. You might have turtles coming from all over the neighborhood to get their shells painted by you"!

Jesse walked away with a proud little grin saying " that's cool, isn't it Mama?"
