Nature.....and kids

The other day, I was pulled outside by three little munchkins that were screaming, "Momma, lady bug, lady bug!!!" They were so excited to have spot a lady bug in the grass near the house. So, being the outdoors mom I am...I ran out there to see what they were calling "lady bug".


Sure enough, it was definitely a little lady bug. Mollie and Elise were so excited that they ran around calling, "Lady bug, where are you?" all over the backyard. They desperately wanted to find more. But the one that was more interested in the one they already found was Preston.


He was watching every move that bug made. And followed it crawling from one end of the "patio" to the other.



All the while he kept saying, "Momma look! He's going over there!! Momma, look!" He was so proud of himself!! Then he gained the courage to touch it.....


He "pet" it for a little while until his big sister saw all the attention that was given to him. She decided to walk over and.....


Well, let's just say, "Poor lady bug!". Kids.....you never know what they'll do next!!


(No lady bugs were actually harmed in the making of this post. Mollie did miss the bug with her foot and we talked about harming God's creation. Now, all three say, "Don't hurt the bugs!"
