Good intentions

So, I wanted to post some pictures of Anna's 6th birthday - the cake, the gifts, the girl. It would seem, however, that some little urchin got to my camera and deleted everything before I could download the pics. Little stinker, whoever it is.

Then, I was going to post some pictures of my exploded Sigg bottle - a little lesson learned on which water bottles can and cannot go into the freezer. But I haven't yet figured out how to transfer the photos from my phone to the computer. Apparently my clever phone is more clever than me.

So now, some old photos of some of the cool bugs my kids find in the yard and squeal over.

I have no idea what these things are, but I'm sure that if I (or you) went onto bugguide.net, I (or you) would surely find out.

And for all those inquiring minds who want to know what Noah and Eleanor do with themselves when the rest of us are doing school - if it's not making a big, fat mess somewhere for me to clean up, it's this:

Playing forts. Under the picnic table. In the rain. Just because.
