grass monster

I caught a grasshopper outside and gave it to the kids. they've been in love with it this past week. the grasshopper lost one back leg when I was trying to catch it. and then lost another during the time Michael and Peter were playing with it. and this morning, it died after being sick for a few days. we've tried to feed it lettuce, water, oats and even cotton balls(Enoch's choice). sadly it went rigid and died this morning. Michel was really sad and wants to find a new one.

Peter always calls it "grass monster" which was really cute! and in the first pic the boys built a duplo box they called "grasshopper 'S house" to trap the grasshopper in there. I can see that they really likes the grasshopper a lot.

They even have this fake grass for the grasshopper to play on.

Santa

Enoch just asked me " how is Santa going to come in our house this year?" I said without thinking " go down the chimney!" Enoch said " We don't have one! How is he going to get in?" Um...

Aunt Shelley came from Antarctica

So Enoch was showing me all the things he learned about bugs from "Bugs by the number". I asked who gave him the book, he said " I know, Aunt Shelley. She came from Antarctica, a very cold place." Haha He just read a book about penguins at Antarctica a few days ago and I think he thought every place that has ice is called "Antarctica". I couldn't resist laughing
