Happy 4 months Sophia!

Bugs, bugs, bugs. . .

Bugs are inundating our lives.

As part of the insect unit in Camille's 2nd grade class, she had to make a model of an insect of her choice--she chose a caterpillar. I challenged her to try to make a model of an actual species. How do you think we did?

The cecropia moth caterpillar.
(We saw the moth under our deck about 1 month ago.)

The huggable caterpillar

Now that the stuffed caterpillar is finished, Madeline has asked me to make her a stuffed ant she "can hug" too.

We are all honing our insect catching skills as we try to keep our pet praying mantis (that sits in the middle of the kitchen table) well fed.

And, next week we get to enjoy a 2nd grade production of the musical "Goin' Buggy"

bugs, bugs, bugs. . .

Sisterly love--HELP!!!
