Gardening = Bug Collecting!

Today my mom had to pull out all the flowers in the front yard because it is already over 100 degrees and all the flowers are dying. I am so not used to this weather anymore. It is flippin' hot outside! Anyway, of course Layla wanted to help with the gardening. I had actually found a whole bunch of gardening tools in the $1 section at Target for Layla, so they came in handy. Layla had so much fun ripping out all the flowers and throwing them away. As soon as the flowers were out of the ground, tons of Rollie Pollies came out of the dirt and Layla was so excited. She ran and got her bug collector and started loading them in. She had about a hundred! Okay, not really, but she did have a ton. I found this really big one and showed it to Layla, she freaked out and started running away from it. Then we found a green caterpillar just like in the book "The Hungry Caterpillar." Layla loved it! She held it for awhile and thought it was so funny the way it walked, like it was dancing. We had a great morning, thank goodness we decided to go outside so early, by the time we were done we were all bright red!
