The Dragon Egg

 After Ramsey got home from his last day of school today (they let out at 11:30), Eric had a surprise for him - they were going to go look for fossils!  After searching for a while outside, Ramsey found something special, buried in the sand in his play set....

A dragon egg!
Ramsey was so excited!  He wanted us to notify the newspaper and TV news immediately!  He couldn't quite understand why we weren't more compliant with request to do it on the spot and kept asking when we were going to call.  This was HUGE NEWS after all!  A FOSSILIZED DRAGON EGG!!
He finally settled down enough to have a bit of a snack and to expound more upon his fantastical findingds.
And... a bit off topic here, but a total bit of sweetness here... the boys brought me these little wild violets on their little outdoors expedition.  Nice huh?  :-)
And, after endless weeks of his second front tooth being ridiculously loose (it had actually been sideways!!), he actually let me take a piece of Kleenex and take it out (no tugging required).

Big day here!  Ancient dragon eggs, losing a tooth, last day of school, and a nighttime soccer game!  We're bushed.
