greener pastures

alas, despite our valiant efforts, matilda elanor is no longer with us. the kids did well, a little sad but they knew when we got her she was sick and we were trying to "save her". when i told them at lunch i didn't think she would make it they said they wanted to say bye. so i took them outside and boo said"c-ya, matilda!!!!" and off she ran. bryce had more questions like "we don't have to cut her head off, do we?" (who knows where he heard that, i of course said, ew, gross) then he said "nice knowin ya matilda, we tried..." kids are kinda goobers but at least they aren't devastated. i told the boss man NO MORE COWS!!!!!!!
