The boys found a snail yesterday in the garden. It became their mission to get the snail out of its shell.

They called us both over, and we even got a bowl of water to put it in, as they said that would help it come out. Come to find out, it's a land snail and we almost killed it!

The boys named the snail Pedro, but Caleb started affectionately calling it "pedo" (the Spanish word for "fart"), because of its distinct stinch. You can barely see little Pedo there in the picture.

We enjoyed showing Pedo off to the rest of the children throughout the afternoon, as well as scaring some of the girls to death!
