Snail dilemma

As part of my parental bribery, I bought Jake a minature fish tank when he was potty training. The goal was that once he was able to wear underpants for a full day without accident, I'd get him a fish. Anyway, the woman in the pet shop convinced me that I needed to get two fish, plus a bit of greenery, making his tiny fish tank a little on the over-crowded side of things. Subesquently, the greenery gave birth to 4 tiny snails, which, in essence, were really cute and helped keep the fish tank clean. BUT, last night I realised that they are not all female snails and I now have about 700 baby snails. I'm in a bit of a quandary over what to do with the poor little things - I just can't keep them all. So, my job for this evening is to clean out and get rid of all the snails. My child is going to be devastated. Why did I do this again?? Gross man! Other than that, had a great dinner with a good friend, Sam, and her little boy, Mikey last night. It's always good to catch up over a couple of glasses of vino. Jake was really good, which was a nice change for when we're out and about. He's been a little on the sulky side when we're out lately. It drives me mad. I got some photos of Jake with Mikey, taken the last time we visited and I'll add them onto my blog after this. lots of love xxx
