Bugs & Books

We just had a great couple of days with Grandma. It was wonderful to have her come up and visit. She is always such a big help and the boys absolutely love her. They were sad when she had to go and the next morning asked if we could go see her. Too cute!

Grandma is also nice to have come visit cuz she brings presents! This time she brought little bug catching kits. Perfect for my two big boys just itching to find a good bug or two. When they first got them they weren't quite sure how to go about finding bugs, so Dad took them outside and got them digging through the wood pile looking for things that crawl.

This we most definitely a "Dad" activity since Mom was a bit nervous about even having bugs come into the house inside the new bug cages! They found a spider, a multi-leg centipede type thingy and a potato bug. Once they got them inside they were able to examine them under a magnifying glass. Great fun!


This morning all the bugs were dead or had escaped. So they busied themselves looking at books. They even tried to get William in on the action, Benson later informed me "he's too little to look at books".

Gotta love the arm over the shoulder while they read.
Oh my word! So cute!
