Yesterday at church Hunter learned about bugs and animals (the creation). His wonderful Sunbeam teacher brought a bird so that all the kids could hold and pet it. She also gave them a fun bug catcher with some plastic bugs in it.

This morning when we were going to the van, Hunter found a real bug! He emptied out the plastic bugs, opened up the door and got ready to catch his first bug. He tried to use the tweezers to catch it and put it into his bug container, but the bug was too fast. So 9 months pregnant Mom got down on her knees and tried. The cute tweezers didn't work very well, so what's a Mom to do? Well, this Mom scooped up the bug in her hands to put it in the container. Did I mention that the bug is a cockroach? A nice big, ugly cockroach!

Whew, what a fun morning. I hope we don't have more excitement the rest of the day. Although Hunter is now talking about going on a bug hunt...
