Grassies (aka Grass hoppers)... We had a plague of them early summer. They would collect bags and bags of them on walks or in the back yard. They were everywhere (and now are eating my tomato plants!), but the kids (especially Kyle) were in bug heaven! They spit red stuff out and leave large amounts of poop in their catching buckets, but they boys didn't care.
amount caught in a very short hunt... I failed to take pictures of the big hunts (literally 50-100 hoppers in a bag!).
They were everywhere!
Someone has been watching brothers catching.
Here mom! No thank you!
Rock Candy! Kyle got a Kitchen Science kit for his birthday and so we jumped right in with the candy making. It was a fun, lonnnng process and yummy at the end.
We made some plain sugar kind and some flavored with Kool-Aid packets. For us the regular ones turned out better.
Sweet smile!
Other early summer hits were "slumber parties" .
The fun of having several siblings is sleeping arrangements sometimes get switched up :). Or sometimes they all get to all camp out together!
This was a different "slumber party", they tucked in all their animals and then shared a bed.
Good night!
... Sleep tight!
