It's bug week at school and each child was assigned with bringing in the "ugliest" bug he could find, then all the kids (or maybe teachers...I"m not really sure...) voted, and my Charlie won!
Yes, I'm inordinately proud -- especially since I'm the one who found the crazy bug climbing the screened porch. Charlie is actually kind of ambivalent about the whole thing, but a huge fan of his prize --- CANDY! As the winner he receieved a huge bag of sour gummy worms (yum!) and his very own bug box.
We celebrated the big win by calling Daddy and Grandma to brag then taking our candy and bug box over to Miss Donna's to show them off.
Of course, Charlie's biggest concern with the bug box is whether or not the bug can bit him through the plastic -- we're not sure how/why, but this is a recent obsession. The risk is low now, though -- Daddy "freed" our winning specimen last night, fairly convinced that it was actually a stink-bug and would make us all miserable should it meet it's end in our house.
Today the Ugly Bug Contest, tomorrow anything's possible!
We actually submitted 2 bugs...
we didn't find the winner until we were heading out the door
