That Time of Year!

One of those signs of late summer--today the girls and I found a couple of cicadas in our yard. They were a little skittish (the girls, not the bugs), but I grabbed a few photos of one before removing him (her?) from their play area. I put them in the girls' bug cage so they could show them to Daddy when he came home.







Tonight my 2-year-old and I went out and released the cicadas.



After staring at them and feigning disgust for a few minutes, she decided they were "pwetty" and "I like dem, Mommy!" "Take a pitcher of dis one Mommy!" "Now dis one!" "Dey so pwetty!"

Don't you agree? ;)
