Goodbye Caterpillar


We have been into bugs already this summer, Alyssa being their prime fan. We found a caterpillar (or inch worm, not really sure what it was) at my Mom and Dad's on Sunday that we brought home with us in a little plastic container. Alyssa sat and played with it for hours (no exaggeration) each day. He would crawl all over her hands, she set up obstacle courses for it on the island (can anyone say Clorox) and just loved to look at it. Well, this morning poor caterpillar (that was his name...the girl really puts no thought into naming anything) took his last breath. It was a sad moment or should I say second before she told him goodbye and threw him in the trash can. I assured her there will be lots of bugs to play with this summer...but maybe we should just keep them outside in their own environment. Then came the lightning bug crawling across the kitchen floor. Aiden & Alyssa played with him and then Alyssa kindly put him outside to live a long life :)



Aiden has been a bit of a pistol lately...I know he is a boy, but really this "boy" stuff isn't going to fly around here. Above is a picture of him trying to take a snooze on the end table.

Oh crud, Mom saw me! But at this point, climbing on things is welcome if it means he will stop hitting and throwing!!
That's all I've got for now...
