"Insta"-replay #4, a bit Buggy

Another week done!  This week we had some unexpected fun and learning. 

It started with the discovery of a giant, over two inches long, Crane Fly in the laundry room.  I for one had never seen one so large.  We of corse trapped it, examined it, and released it out side.  

Self highlights were the "highlight" of my week.  And yes I think I'm funny.

My sister bought board book kits and sent them over for the kids.  They loved coming up with their own stories.

My sister-in-law sent over some cool zebra print balloons.  Unfortunately they didn't fair very well outside, but they were fun while they lasted.

Our week ended with another large "bug."  I know spiders aren't bugs, but they sure bug me.  We took our little house guest to the department of Agriculture where a very nice gentleman explained what type it was and reassured us we were safe even if it wasn't the only one visiting.

Bugs give me the creeps so starting and ending with them was not my ideal.  My daughters (also not bug lovers) had a surprising amount of fun with magnifying glasses and our trapped "friends."   That made it almost worth catching the bugs.
