"The Turtle Is Sad"

WARNING.... THIS POST CONTAINS A GRAPHIC IMAGE. VIEWER DISGRESSION IS ADVISED.

Around the 4th of July, Pop Pop and Tage went on a walk by our house. Tage came back telling me that they saw a turtle and it was sad. I asked her why it was sad, and she sad "A truck squashed it! The turtle is sad Mommy!" A little bit later, Tage got her camera out and said she wanted to take a picture of the sad turtle... and so she did.

A few days ago, she went to visit the sad turtle again. This time, she came back saying "someone cleaned the sad turtle up"

I would be sad too.

Sorry for the graphic picture!

Slow down for wild life!

p.s. a few months ago I was driving and saw a turtle in the road, so we stopped and Tage and I saved it by carrying it back to the side, and farther away from the road by some trees... we love turtles, incase you may have thought otherwise!

A Full House

Tagester has quite the imagination....

A crocodile lives at the top of our stairs, every day Tage will come down the stairs and slam the door saying "NO CROCODILE!" Whenever she goes up the stairs, she hurrys fast saying "Hurry! Hurry! Don't want the Crocodile to get me!" She has been observed with a toy saw, sawing the carpet. When asked what she was doing, she said "I'm cutting the Crocodile!"

One day, while eating breakfast, Tage told Daddy there was a Hot Pink little girl over by the sink. She has pink hair, pink eyes, pink skin, and pink clothes. Daddy accidently stepped on her... oops! I think Tage recently changed the little girls color though... if I'm not mistaken, she is now blue!

A while ago, Kevin was wiping Tage's bum after she used the toilet. Noticing a bruise on her bum, he asked her about it.
Daddy: "Tage, you have a bruise on your bum! What happened?"
Tage: "Oh.... a beaver bit my bum..."
Daddy: "A beaver???"
Tage: "Yeah... a beaver, with little green teeth!"

As you can see, our house is getting crowded!

Stay tuned for "The Sad Turtle"... a TRUE story!
