| September 29, 2010 The kids got to know slugs really well this year. They are all over the place here, and our backyard was no exception. One day, Grammy was home with the kids while Mike and I did some shopping. When we came back, Mom told me that Avary had watched a slug for such a long time, as it climbed the steps on our patio. She was fascinated. On every walk we took, Avary and Sam pointed out all the slugs they saw. We also checked out books from the library about slugs and snails, so we all learned quite a bit about them. |

| October 6, 2010 Of course, where there are slugs, there must be slug eggs. |
 |
| October 7, 2010 We actually put those eggs in a container and brought them inside to see if they would hatch. Then, we would have let them go somewhere other than our backyard! But they didn't hatch. I was not very disappointed about that. :) |

| October 7, 2010 Our neighbor found this "schneckenhaus" in her yard, and gave it to the kids. |

| October 11, 2010 Our neighbor also found this baby snail and gave it to the kids. Now, normally "cute" is not a word I would choose to describe a snail. But this little thing was actually really cute. It was so tiny! |
