Rolie Polie Express

We've been keeping busy doing some fun things the last couple of weeks! We're working hard to get all of Jacob's requirements done to earn his Wolf in cub scouts before school starts. While we were getting a birdhouse kit for Jacob I let Zach pick out one of these cool puzzle sets at Michael's. The pieces just fit together...he loves it! He said it was his museum for Webby (his favorite stuffed animal).Jacob had to plan all of our meals for today using the food pyramid. He's also cooking us breakfast and dinner and washing dishes after both. What a guy! Here he is making pancakes (with a little help from mom).

The boys are going on walks lately by themselves around the block. Today they took a remote control truck. They were gone a while and I was about to go look for them when they came back. They'd been collecting potato bugs along the way, saving them from the fire ants. Jacob said "This is the Rolie Polie Express! We save the bugs!"

Zach insisted that we take pictures and post them immediately so that grandma can see.

This is Zach holding a rolie polie. He's completely terrified of all other insects, bugs, microscopic ants, whatever...but he loves these things.
