May 25th

May25While chopping up some old trees that had fallen down the Hubs came across some ant eggs.

After a Google search I found out that the tiny white things are eggs, the pieces that look like rice are the larvae, and then if you look closely you’ll see what looks like white ants.  Those are the pupae.

I’m half fascinated, half creeped out.

Of course Glamor Girl now knows *way* more about the ant life cycle than she probably ever wanted to know but this home schooling Mama never misses a teachable moment 😉

The Hubs called me over to where he was working outside to show me some dragonflies that were sunning themselves on some trees.

Itty Bitty had been hanging out with me so he came running over when Daddy called – scaring the dragonflies away.  While I sat quietly near the trees waiting for them to come back, Daddy sat on the hill behind me keeping Bitty entertained AKA away from the dragonflies.

I heard Bitty giggling and turned around to see a sweet Father and Son moment.

That’s more beautiful than any dragonfly so the picture I snapped is my photo of the day 🙂

So I found this cool bug on a piece of grass and immediately crouched down and began taking pictures.

At one point, I used another blade of grass to nudge him so he was facing the light.

Um… he’s a Thread Waisted Wasp.

Yes, WASP!

Yikes!

I was nudging a wasp.  Holy gravy what was I thinking?!?!?!

Our neighbor has baby chickens and he invited the family over to see them.

This one was my favorite!  It fell asleep in my hands!

Somehow I got talked into doing the pictures for the boys baseball team.

Pretty sure the Hubs (who’s a Coach) had something to do with it.

I must admit, I’m kinda nervous.

Here are two practice baseball poses that I did with the boys this afternoon after school.
