Worms and such

One day, after school, when the weather was beautiful, Joseph asked me if he could play outside with Isabel. Normally, right after school, I like to tackle homework and get it out of the way. But, for once these two were getting along, and I decided to savor the moment and let them play outside first. We have two big windows in our kitchen, and I looked outside to see them digging in the dirt. I wanted to go out and see what they had, but knew from previous experience, that when the going is good...don't mess it up. So, I waited patiently, until they came opened the back door, "Mom, come look what we found". I walked out, camera in hand, knowing it would be good. They had a bowl of worms. Yuck. Of course, they weren't content with watching them wriggle around in the bowl. They seperated them according to type of worm...then they put them in order from smallest to biggest, from skinniest to fattest. It was a hoot to watch. Plus, did I mention, they were getting along? I just love those kind of days...those kind of moments.
