Suds and Bugs

Owen and Daddy headed outside to scrub "Africa" off the car. Owen loved having a job to do scrubbing the car and dunking the sponge in the bubbles. Nathan enjoyed spraying accidently spraying Owen with the hose and hearing him giggle. Owen got some revenge later when he was allowed to rinse the car. It was really great watching my boys work together and have fun. Lots of good Daddy Owen time! I love them so much!!

And now for Jiminy Cricket!! Really... look at this guys face! You can see how Disney drew the character from the real grasshoppers. He was easily about 4 inches/4.5 inches long, a big grasshopper in my book! He was moving very slowly when my neighbor Lisa caught him. They fumagate regularly on the compound so I think he was sick. Lisa homeschools her girls. What a great specimen to collect and study from!

He was a really beautiful grasshopper. The spikes on his legs looked like they were perfectly dipped in red paint accenting them ever so slightly. Seeing how exact this creature was made reminds me of how amazing God is. While I don't particulary like bugs, God has a bigger plan and this little guy is a great reminder.

Ciao!
