Forgetful Jones
It seems that every time I leave the house I forget something. I think that comes from dividing my brain space between two children and day-to-day chores. I guess I just don't have enough firing neurons left to keep everything organized.
After leaving my dad's house last week he called to let me know that I had forgotten the USB cable that accompanies my camera. Knowing how much and how often I photograph the girls and transfer photos to my computer and blog, he mailed the cable to me. I received it just in time to bring it to my in-laws' house last weekend and guess what? I left it there, too.
So, be excited about the photographs that will eventually accompany the blog.
Yesterday, the girls and I went to Home Depot in search of a magnolia tree and possibly some roses. While looking through the gardening department Amelia and I saw that the store had live ladybugs for sale. There they were, walking around inside a plastic mesh bag - waiting to go home with someone.
A bag full of ladybugs was three dollars, so I thought it would be fun for Amelia to release them into our back yard. Boy was she excited about her ladybugs. She held them all the way home and talked over and over about releasing them in our yard.
After putting Diana down for a nap, I took Amelia and my camera outside to release the red beetles. The ladybugs were pretty quick to get out of the bag and were soon all over Amelia. I like ladybugs as much as the next person, but I thought she might be getting a little creeped out when she kept picking the bugs out of her clothes and off her arms. I told her that if she put the bag down the beetles could get out on their own. She never put the bag down.
After swim class that afternoon Amelia talked about visiting the ladybugs in the backyard. I hope a lot of them are still around. You can't exactly put leashes on bugs, so they could have flown off into any one's yard. I did plant one rose bush, though, so maybe that will be enough to entice them to stay.
If all of the ladybugs stayed on that rose bush, it would be the most pest-free bush in all of California.
