Stuff I forgot to blog about...

Last week, I forgot to post about our very first Fireflies of the season!! Jalen and I were sitting on the back deck in the dark, listening to the wind tousling the treetops and suddenly a little blink of light flashed out in the yard. I jumped up and said "Look Jalen, a Firefly!"

We yelled for the other kids to come see and by the time they arrived, there were two. Two little on-and-off lights blinked through the yard for a time and then disappeared. We haven't seen any since then....

A couple nights ago I saw an earwig on the floor and kicked it under the stove rather than deal with it at that moment. Jalen and I were standing near the stove (making macaroni I believe) when it crawled back out, right near his foot. He jumped back and said "A TWIZZLER!!".
Earwigs are "Twizzlers" now I guess. Funny phrases and words are his specialty.
