We have those wonderful creatures as well! We had one in the house one time while Mr. Sparkle was gone- of course- and I called the cops to come get it. Of course, the little b#@*&rd hid from them and the moment they left, he came out to torment me once again! And worms- omigosh,,, no way... But... Laylee is adorable and kind to all creatures and you are a good mommy... and yes, that looks like an icky mole... Ewww... Oh, don’t even get me started on mice- or rats!

Not kidding. Let them learn about worms. Safely. :) No eating. Last year a science Nobel Prize was given to someone for his work with worms! Not kidding. Let them learn about worms.

Last week, my younger son (12) was collecting worms with a friend's daughter (9) and they were storing them in big pools (birdbath & wagon, respectively, full of water). Son wanted to bring his home - the humongous one, that is - his name was Emporer. He was placing him in a plastic Easter egg, along with a little water. I let him know that Emporer would prefer living in his existing home (at my friend's) and he'd be terribly unhappy at our house. Besides, I didn't really want worm water in the truck - ugh! Besides, I'm a really mean mom! LOL!! :D My first visit here and my side is killing me from laughing so hard – of course, that’s after I got back up off the floor!

Moles are NOT our friends. If you come across any more, you'll want to throw them a lot further away than over your fence. There's a reason those front feet are shovel-shaped. Moles can make a mess of lawns and gardens like nobody's business, says the woman whose garden bed is now well-tilled and devoid of perennials. (It was found drowned in the pond--ewwwww!) Oh my.

Dan and I have already thought of this. He told me I had lied to Laylee and I said, "No, I never said YOU wouldn't throw them over." Great minds think alike. Jenny - at least I let my kids sleep in peace... Kage - the out of focusness was totally on purpose... totally Heather - They're sleeping. Well, they WERE sleeping. After their free fall, they may be sleeping a bit deeper. Heff – Too funny. Dan and I have already thought of this.

I love kids with animals, even the yucky ones... My boys always have a frog or two in their bug houses these days. Those poor frogs. They just love them a little too much! That’s so cute.

Well, I guess I could, if they were already dead and they were just flung into our yard by our neighbor's son...(gross). Laylee and her Worm families! That's cute! It reminds me of building lego houses for grasshoppers in our backyard and then force feeding them grass 'cause that's what GRASShoppers eat? (or at least that's what we thought). Good luck with Hotel Rodentia! Gross, I could never fling rodents over a fence. Well, I guess I could, if they were already dead and they were just flung into our yard by our neighbor’s son…(gross).
