➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

I WANT TO SEE THE GECKO!

Also, there is no such thing as too many sassy lizards. More = better. And I stand by that statement even though today some naughty little lizard picked all the blueberries out of her salad like a kid picking the marshmallows out of the cereal

IV would live off of blueberries if I let her. She would literally die of blueberry overdose.
I have to mash blueberries into her greens so she doesn’t pick them out, while questioning what life choices I made to get to the place of battling a teenage lizard to eat her vegetables every night.

Finn is the resident senile old lady. I don’t have many good pictures; she only comes out to shout at us to get off her lawn.
Also pretty sure she’s immortal.



And my precious lady Jake, RIP.
If you haven’t looked into African fat tails, I highly recommend it. Like leopard geckos but somehow even cuter.
They keep pretty well together. Finn and Jake were good pals.

It’s definitely a thing.
Ever seen a lady stop and cross her legs when she sneezes? Now you know why.

This is why I have dogs and not babies...

Yet.

You guys keep using all these big words/weird animals and I keep having to Google every one

The mini's assignment last night was to find 10 words in a book that he's reading that he doesn't know and write the definitions to them.
I told him I do this assignment all the time on BYC.
He laughed at me.

Fin and Jake are adorable They have great smiles. Thank you for sharing!

Tad does not normally get blueberries in her salad. I normally just hand feed her a few at a time as a special treat. But yesterday I was racing around trying to get a lunch packed before work, and it occurred to me (as I was portioning out some blueberries for myself) that Tad had not had any blueberries for several weeks. And I thought to my self that she really deserved some for being so good about eating her veggies this week. So without further thought, I grabbed some out of the container and threw them on top of her regular salad. Silly me, everyone knows that blueberries are like crack to beardies.

You could exert the equivalent of total mind control on me simply by offering me fresh wild blueberries, slightly unripened. I know few things that can approach their level of flavour.

Yay, another young reader! What's he reading?

I started taking the boys to storytime at age 2 and they've been library regulars ever since. I consider that a huge win.

Mine are currently reading Lisa Maxwell's The Last Magician at the same time so they can discuss. I get asked some peculiar questions depending on what they're reading and I think I want to read this book myself. I'm also super happy they're branching out from Riordan. I have nothing against the guy but it's been all Riordan for a while now.

They start school the 1st of August around here so we're already a month into freshman year. No assigned book yet because they aren't in an English class this semester. I find it very strange that they have math all year but language arts is only half. Of course, they only have FOUR classes in their day so a lot of subjects are smooshed together. And they have something called "seminar" that's a complete hodge-podge. It's vastly different from what I experienced.

BTW, the message that learning is life-long is a great one. He'll laugh because he thought you knew everything but eventually he'll understand that nobody does and I think it's an important life lesson.
