Mr. Turtle

Well the first day of school was great.  Kids came home happy, everything went well.  All until Mackenzie went in the backyard to check on her critters.  She is the biggest animal lover their is, or should I say animal obsessor???  After school she went and checked on Mr. Turtle, her pet turtle that lives in the pond with the koi fish.  I knew she was outside, and then I heard screaming and crying and she came running in to me.  I took one look at her and saw that her nose had a chunk of flesh taken right off the tip.  She was able to calm down enough to tell me that Mr. Turtle bit her nose!!!  That darn thing!  Ok, it was hilarious, but at the time I couldn't laugh at her. :)  She was able to tell me that she was looking in his shell because he wouldn't come out, and then he just snapped out and bit her.  So she let go of him, and he hung on!  Finally he must have let go and she came screaming.  So this is what she looked like, and I wish I would have taken a better photo to capture it.  

The next day her friend came to her at the bus stop and told her she had chocolate on the tip of her nose.  No, its just a scab from my turtle biting my nose!  What a story!  

And here she is with her pet turtle that she fully forgave and loves to pieces!!
