Okay, so the last few days it has felt like we've skipped spring being in the high 80s. But I hear we're supposed to have a normal spring soon. Anyway, the kids have NOT COME inside at all and played and played (awesome because there's no mosquitos out yet!) On our deck there seems to be 5-6 new caterpillars every time we go out. The kids LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Here they are playing outside and Camden is showing off one of his.
(Warning Mom: this post MAY disturb you since you think Aleeya isn't enough of a "girl".....especially considering she's outside playing with dinosaurs on the table.) Oh, and that caterpillar, along with 3 others went to preschool with Camden today too. Awesome show-n-tell, huh.
Before our walk, here's Aleeya holding a caterpillar. She puts the death grip on them and doesn't let them go.....and didn't the WHOLE walk.......as you see, Emerson even tries to take them from her while she's distracted but he has never suceeded.

Oh, I need to add on that walk we found a driveway that had literally hundreds of caterpillars on the ground. The boys kept stuffing them in their pockets to take home and Aleeya added a few more to her fists. They ended up in the backyard, in the empty wading pool just WAITING to be the kid's entertainment for the next couple hours.
Here is the fairy/butterfly showing me her personal bucket of the caterpillars she caught herself. She's pretty talented.
In my defense, I DO dress her up and do her hair when we go out, and even put a shirt on. I promise Mom, I do. But isn't my little fairy (Brooks hates that word) so cute even with these incredibly dirty faces and nasty hair-dos?

My kids LOVE bugs, too! However, I'm mean mommy and don't let them bring them inside the house.
It's been a while....need a recent belly pic!
Oh my gosh--Aleeya looks like a little Emerbop in these pictures!! I'm laughing because she's so into bugs just like your boys. Luke only sees me and the girls FREAK out when we see bugs, so he acts just like us--I keep thinking someday the boy in him will shine through, otherwise; he'll have to marry someone like Aleeya.
Camden--that is COOLEST caterpillar--next to the pet caterpillar I had when I was little. His name was JJ and I used to carry him around in a milk carton purse! Do any of your caterpillars have a name??
How fun! Aleeyah is such a doll. I can't wait for Annie to discover the caterpillars. So far she's only tried to befriend flies.
These trips really ARE rejuvinating! However, I'm still not sure if I'm ready to be back or not and it's been 2 weeks since I got home! :) Megan is on formula now, it was a medication issue that made me wein her, she really was a great nurser though! Anyway, it really made it that much more convenient for me to skip town! :)
