Lady bug release. Tuesday. April first.

PLEASE NOTE: NO LADY BUGS WERE HARMED IN THIS ADVENTURE.
(the kids only used eggs with air holes. so they could have air)
and we do own bug boxes, but they weren't at the park with us at the time, however the eggs were in the van,so being the out of the box thinkers that they are. they made it work.

SEE the day bugs in the eggs.
it was the kids idea to bring them home. they know that Ladybugs eat aphids.
and wanted to feed them.


Eggs hold lady bugs fabulously!

strategically placing the lady bugs on the rose bush.


They even got to watch them eat aphids.
Pierce wishing he was on the other side of the fence.
his theme song should be "don't fence me in".


Paxton hang out with Pierce. Hope and her red ball,. notice no bow. yes there are times we don't have one on. like when she pulled out her pony tails. and we are at the park and i fix it with what i've got available.

and Joy was playing at the neighbors and couldn't be bothered to come home and have a picture taken.

My kids love to find ladybugs too. I saw some cute bug cages at Target and Walmart that would be fun for them to put the ladybugs in.
