HAPPY EARTH DAY

The boys & I celebrated Earth Day by planting two little pine trees for the two of them in our backyard.  They both were good little helpers though it did get a little hectic as T was playing "swords" with all of my small garden tools and CJ kept on throwing dirt all over the place. Whatever keeps them happy!  

On a different note, we all were devastated to discover that our beloved turtle, Artimus, suddenly passed away late this afternoon from unknown causes.  We all are very sad.  When putting T to bed tonight, he stated that "he wanted to go see Artimus in heaven this summer"..."we can drive there."  My heart just tore to pieces.

Oh no! That's so sad that the turtle died! I guess they don't live very long in captivity.

So sad!! I love Tanner's sweet comments...the things they say just melt your heart. Ivan still talks about Ruby, our dog who passed away several months ago. I get teary eyed every time.

That's so sad that he passed away. I hope he wasn't in any pain and went "peacefully." That's sweet Tanner said that.
