Mimi, we thought you'd like to know there's a box turtle hibernating in our flower bed. Sav named him Lightning McQueen. Not sure if she comprehends what turtles are known for.
Sav is digging for earth worms to feed him.
Footnote 1: Mimi, Lightning McQueen is the race car from the movie Cars. I'd love to give Sav credit for being creative, but in reality she lacks creativity when it comes to naming things. Prior to the turtle, everything has been named 'Mommy'. Which is like a huge honor, except for the fact that my namesake is a goldfish that swims in circles all day. She asked what our car's name was the other day and I suggested she name it. "Mommy's Car," she said. I suggested we be a little more fun and suggested "Lightning." She informed me the name was already taken by the red race car from the movie, but through that conversation she now has two names she bestows: "Mommy" or "Lightning McQueen. "
Footnote 2: I tried to explain that the poor turtle is trying to sleep and doesn't need worms shoved in his face, but it doesn't seem to be penetrating.

How on earth did she come up with that name. I love it. Tell the girls that unfortunately when the turtles are hibernated, they don't eat. I hope it stays around. They usually don't wander too far off if there is food in the area.
