I'm with Robin on the false eyes, but that pointy thing seems unnecessary. We had a "pet" turtle for years and years (Dan named him Kermit in a moment of preschool confusion) and he was a real delight. The kids loved to put him on the kitchen floor and give him a cherry tomato- he would roll it all over the kitchen trying to get a grip on it with his 'beak' and finally get it backed into a corner where he would bite down and spray seeds everywhere. A few always dried on his face so he would spend a lot of time swiping at them.amarkonmywallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677008352624269050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-26951988889103460682010-11-04T07:20:16.838-05:002010-11-04T07:20:16.838-05:00It was fun watching you feed the turtles when we w...It was fun watching you feed the turtles when we were out there!<br />Oh and let Mrs. FC know I'm still working on an answer for her!Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02451216620261659383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-51842044536210365182010-11-04T07:09:19.398-05:002010-11-04T07:09:19.398-05:00Hi Mr. FC-
