Lightning Bugs . . . . .

Early yesterday evening Rusty and the kids went outside and caught 3 Lightning Bugs and put them in a jar with holes in the lid. The kids spent part of the evening in the dark watching their new pets light up. They even named the bugs.

This morning Rusty picked up the jar and said that he thought that at least one of the bugs had died. Then when Darcy came in and asked why one of her new pets wasn't moving, Rusty told her that he thought that it had died. She said that she was going to take them outside and let them go.

After about 10 minutes, I looked at Rusty and said, just how long does it take to release some bugs? He just shrugged. LOL!

She finally came in and said that she let two of them go and she buried the one that had died and put flowers on it's grave.

Aren't children just a Pure Joy and Incredible Gift from God?

UPDATE: Darcy & Taylor just came in the house with a new pet. They now have flowers and a Bee in the jar named Honeysuckle. LOL!
