Guess Who Showed Up Day????

Must have gotten just quiet enough at naptime today because when we woke the praying mantises had started to emerged.... there were tons of them coming out of the little egg case!!!

Lydia and Chris really liked watching them!!



Here are more pictures so you cn see what they looked like and how FULL the "cage" was. The pictures are a little blurry because of the screen:)








Once Daddy is finished mowing the lawn we will decide how many to keep and how many to release. The directions tell us to release all but 1-2. We have an extra "cage" from the butterfly project we did in August so we might be able to keep another. But we have to feed them insects... which will add to the adventure around here:)

Ok, Nate!!! The pressure is ON (literally, too)!!!
Our to-do list is finished..... we're just waiting on you (and the carpet upstairs)!!!
