My BackSeat Boys: Sea Monkey Observations

Sea Monkey Observations

The boys received sea monkey kits for Christmas. We've been watching our sea monkeys grow and swim around for the past few weeks. Last week, however, brought about a situation I wasn't quite prepared for. As we were checking them out one day Mason says "why are those two stuck together like that?" Instead of answering I handed him the little book of FAQs. He read it and smiled at me and said "looks like we're gonna have some baby sea monkeys soon."
