Here are a few pictures before our July 4th party last night. The kids were in a wacky mood, hence the funny pictures.
I got the kids nets and bug boxes today at the dollar store (after getting worn out by catching them by hand last night), and Jack promptly found the craziest caterpillar, with big fake eyes on its back and big orange antenna that would pop out at will. He declared it his best friend and named it Bobby. He tried to feed it leaves, grass and a raspberry. The caterpillar wasn't impressed.
We caught lightning bugs tonight, but Amelia got quite distressed after PG told her that Jack had more fireflies than she did. They had a lot of fun running around the yard with their giant (cheap) nets, and I'm hoping the exercise will help them sleep later tomorrow.
Jack wore his big boy underpants for most of the afternoon and was (thankfully) entirely successful. He'll even go by himself, without help. Hooray!
