Creepy Crawlies
It has been all about bugs around here the last month. While I have battling the ants and mosquitos that find their way into our house (grrr) Josiah has been hunting for more insects to bring in our home! It all started with his insect theme at school . . .
Then he got this awesome bug kit from his aunties and uncles. First we caught some red beetles.
Then even I got excited about insects when we found this amazing Lantern Beetle right outside our front door. Isn't it beautiful!?
Next we had a gecko in our home for two days . . .
And on May 1 (Josiah's actual birthday) we made his dream of a pet come true with a Leopard Tortoise. Of all the pets we could have a tortoise is definitely my pick. He is so cute and playful. We named him "High Five" (since Josiah turned 5) and they are best buds.
