Bugs

This little guy is way into bugs these days.   He loves bugs.   It kind of started with the show Monster Bug Wars.   To bad there was only 6 episodes and we've seen all of them about a hundred times.   

He loves  finding bugs, watching shows about bugs, books about bugs and playing with his bug toys.   

He identifies all the bugs he finds too.... this is a bulldog rescue cricket, a cellar spider, a black-widow spider....we've found all kinds of species : )

We found a bug cage at a sale - perfect for him right now!   He couldn't wait to go on a bug hunt and fill it up.  

It was also perfect for fireflies.  Something he couldn't wait for was the fireflies to come back.  We finally had our 1st firefly night a few nights ago.

Boys and bugs, what can you do.

Spring Walk

The kids are loving being able to get outside.   They are having fun by the creek.   They've been piling up rocks making a "waterfall."

They also have been spending lots of time "fishing."    It involves a stick long enough to touch the water.   Hunter will say things like "I could do this all day" or "what a great day to fish."   And really they could do it all day.   It's pretty funny.

Max cat - the cat who thinks he's a dog - follows us on walks.   He was really annoyed that he couldn't figure out how we all got on one side and he was on the other.

He's still trying to figure it out.

And he finally figured it out by crossing the tree as far as he could and jumping.

Hunter thought this was so funny.

The cat seriously is part dog.  In the summer he follows us and lays down and pants when he gets too hot.
