A photo from late spring, August found a water stick bug while we were planting our garden. It was very exciting! Now we have 5 Indian Stick bugs in a Terrarium in the living room.....
"Mommy, I don't like the free music anymore"
A couple of weeks ago August couldn't sleep and I was making Bread and Butter Pickles, so he was slicing as I was washing. The crickets were LOUD and he finally moved them into the living room. Later that night Don moved them outside, we couldn't have slept with their racket! Right now tonight their home, the 5 gallon bucket, is in front of the woodstove. Their song is a quieter peaceful sound. I guess full blown mating season is over. We're hoping for babies. I wonder what the crickets outside are doing.....
Today was pirate day in our house. An almost 3 year old running around the house swinging his home made cutlass yelling "shiver me timbers!" is pretty funny. The boys have decided they want to be pirates for halloween and they wanted to get their costumes together. So off we headed to the thrift store. (First picking up two totes of pears for the pigs and dropping off gatorade to a sick friend) Pirate costume success. 3 black striped shirts, big belts, red shirt that looks like a swashbuckling coat, scarves....they got all dressed up after dinner and then I had to make their cutlasses, and then they made gold (out of blue paper go figure) ...... hopefully they still want to be pirates 5 weeks from now! Sawyer is the captain as he has a pirate hat he got for xmas. I'm going to help them make hooks tomorrow.......
