Last night, we gathered again at my daughter's house for Buddy to celebrate his birthday with friends. His friends? All little girls who are willing to hunt bugs with him on the school playground. Daughter picked them all up at school. Papa and I and parents came later for sliders, fruit, salad, beans, potato salad, and cake - of course. Sunday's celebration was a quiet family one. Last night was the opposite. Lots of boisterous play - well mannered chaos, if that makes sense. The daughter and son-in-law seemed to have survived nicely. I enjoyed watching the kids and eating - and eating. All good.
We took the fruit salad. That effort was almost thwarted by our nutty dog. Long story. We did make it there with salad. All's well that ends well, I suppose.
The cool part is that for favors Buddy gave each departing friend a just-hatched praying mantis and a flower planting kit. With little pots that kids could decorate. How cool is that?
Today was a fun day with Roo, then the two of them for the afternoon. Beads and baking with Roo,and both playing with a neighbor friend in the afternoon. Nature walk, too.
This week-end they are off on a trip to a bug pavilion - still celebrating seven years.
I think I will farm tomorrow morning, then have a pedicure.
This is where the bug fair is this weekend: http://www.nhm.org/site/activities-programs/bug-fair
