I love sitting on the front porch. The kids and I spend quite a bit of time there, so we planted some flowers a few weeks ago to make the place feel a bit more like home. Within days I noticed that our plants were starting to wilt. I kept watching them, but the problem kept getting worse. One night we got home late and noticed tons of snails all over the porch and sidewalk. The kids thought it was great! I was happy to finally figure out what was killing our flowers, but a little bugged that I would have to replant. I took the kids to the store the next day and we bought some snail bait. The next day we had dead snails everywhere! Dallin and Brooke had a great time picking up all the shells and making snail soup. Unfortunately, some of the shells mysteriously made it into the house!! I don't know that our house will ever smell the same.

haha! oh yuck! my mom is CONSTANTLY killing snails. She goes out with a flashlight in the middle of the night every night and then the next morning there's a huge mess of slug guts out on the road where she smashed them. YUCK! Good luck with that.
Wow! I can't believe the kids! So afraid of cats and dogs but nose to nose with snails! They are really growing and changing. I miss them so much.
