A while back (pre cast-off) Micah took the kids on a run in the double BOB. On their way home, they saw some caterpillars crossing the street, and they wanted to keep them. Fortunately, we have a little cage for them to create their cocoon in and we made a nice little home for them. Unfortunately, Scout and Navy liked to have those little suckers out and about as much as possible.
Navy was constantly holding one or both, and called them her “friends”.
I was particularly impressed at how much Scout handled his, as he is usually a little hesitant about creepies and crawlies.
Here is Scout impressing Icka with letting one of them crawl under his sweatshirt.
Of course, they wanted Dash in on the caterpillar action, so I set him down to see what all of the fuss was about.
And a few seconds later I looked back to see this scene.
Although Navy looks like she is the culprit in the photo, they are both to blame.
Poor third child was doing what he does best — rolling with the punches!
Poorer me — after we went to show our “friends” off to someone, we left with both caterpillars in the cage. On the drive home, Icka got into it. Once home, I put the cage up high, and realized that we were less one caterpillar. I looked around to find nothing. But if I magically have a beautiful butterfly in my car one day, I have that second weasel to thank.
