A few things

Grant came home from school as a lady bug last week!

His class just finished their lady bug unit for science.

Then on Saturday, Keith gave the boys a bug collecting kit that he'd gotten at a garage sale.

It kept them busy all day, it was awesome! 

Keith then took the boys to the driving range and Grant found a lady bug there.  He was so excited!

They put it in a bottle and brought it home and now it's living in a little bug house on his dresser.

It's name is Ripsy, and it is a well loved little bug.

 I think Brett took this picture.  I'm just cleaning out Grant's folder after school.

It seems like there is SO MUCH paper to go through every day.  Of course most of it gets tossed, but I can't imagine how much more there will be when all of the kids are in school!

 My amazing helper.  I say it all the time, but this little guy is always willing to help.

He helped me wash chard from our garden for our dinner after he hauled it all into the house in his cute little arms.

 And here's what keeps me on my toes every day.  Oh, this girl is a handful!  A very cute handful.  And it's good that she's so cute, because she's a handful!  Did I say that already?
