My Kids Would Live Outside

If given the choice, I'm certain my children would choose to live outside. They stayed outside for 3 hours today after we got home from the office. They took their supper outside to "eat with Delta". (I'm sure Delta loved the smell of pizza just 3 inches from her nose only on the other side of a fence....and an electric shock collar) I showed them a few weeks ago how to catch a jack and now they are obsessed and have small sticks and pine straw stuck in every hole in our backyard. Oh, you don't know what a jack is? well...it's a small little worm that lives in a hole. They have a pincher type thingy on their head and if you stick pine straw down in their hole they will push it out, when you see the pine straw moving, you snatch it out real quick and they'll be hanging on to the end of it. I tried to search the internet for a picture of one but apparently in places other than south Alabama, they are called something else other than a "jack". Oh PS- if you want to search for "jacks" and you also search "hole" (since that's where they live) make sure to have your filter on google or you'll get some pictures you might not want to see!

So after eating pizza, taunting Delta, running around for 3 hours sticking all the straw they could find in every hole, this is what the nasty pigs looked like:
