The girls have been at their aunt's house for the past four days. Since we still have no power and school was called off, we figured it would be as good a time as any for them to hang out with Auntie Megan.

Which left London with our undivided attention. This resulted in him wearing his spiderman costume and rubber boots for an entire day and packing dry Coco Puffs, a Diet Pepsi and a Swiss Roll for lunch. I should win mother of the year.

Matt was out working on the tree carnage in the back yard and London and I found a bug...a caterpillar to be exact.

We looked at it.
We poked it. (Don't you dig the outfit?)

We held it.

We pointed at it.

Look at those pretty red stripes.

Then we blew on him to try to get him to open up for his close up shot. It didn't work.

So after London stretched him out a little and claimed that he was "bitten" by him we picked him up with a stick so he could dangle off precariously.

Then London decided to get him to hang off of a bread tie (he'd been playing with a whole pack of them earlier that morning). Look at those cute little feet!

And while we were doing all of that....Matt was busy cutting down a tree while the sun was going down.

And the sun went down. (See the bird in the lower left corner? That was a total accident.) (Click it to see it bigger)

And the sun went down some more.

The end.
