Foto Friday – Misc. Edition

I guess we’ll call this a catch up day.

 

(Jack dancing in Best Buy)

Jack: Mom is anyone looking?

me: No, why?

Jack: (starts rocking out)

 

(Noticed this composition on our walk the other day.)

(Jack studying the "map" we found in the road. Can you see Florida??)

(This is the 2nd moth that we released. We named him "Darth Vader".)

 

You may remember our 2nd caterpillar “Basil”? (scroll down a bit) If not, shame on you. Go catch up on your reading. So, our first caterpillar was Chewbacca… all brown and fuzzy, then he turned into Princess Leia the fluffy white moth. And now we have Darth Vader. I’m just along for the ride on the naming conventions.

Jack: This is like a totally different moth!

me: Remember, the caterpillar was totally different too. He was all smooth, and …

Jack: Okay I’m done, let’s release it…

me: Sheesh.

 

(Milkweed bug, I think?? Jack seems to think so. He's probably right.)

 

me: Jack, hey look at this bug. Or beetle. I’ve never seen this kind before.

Jack: It’s a milkweed bug.

me: I don’t know… I’ll have to look it up.

Jack: It’s definitely a milkweed bug. I raised one from a nymph stage.

me: (Who is this kid??) Well, yeah, that might be true, but I’m still not sure if that’s what this bug is. (trying to save face as a parent…)

 

(We rock with tinker toys. Especially the plastic kind. Behold, the single-engine prop plane.)

 

And we wonder why our neighbor calls him Bigfoot. Geez.

 

(Ed (top) and Bella LOVE their new kitty climber!)

(...and they love their new scratching thingy!)

 

Jack: Why did you buy the cats a new climber? They don’t even use the things they already have!??

me: You’re confusing that argument with something else. You usually say that about me. And shoes. Rememer?

Jack: Oh yeah. You didn’t buy MORE shoes did you??

me: MYOB.

Jack: Very funny.
