The locusts have invaded our house in a BIG way! This year's bumper crop of 13 year-locust (technically called periodical cicadas) has provide endless entertainment for my bug-loving boys! Bright and early each morning, the boys head out with great excitement to collect discarded shells. Locust shell hunting has become a favorite pastime for the boys this summer and, to my delight, has proven to be very educational for the entire family. I am proud to say C-N-C have become quite skilled at finding the "crusty treasures" and at last count had collected an impressive 186! They have a goal of 200 shells before summer's end and with the help of their Daddy's keen eye and long reach, I am confident they will have no problem!

Trumpet

Jason and I found this little gem at a flea market some time ago. It was oozing with character and I just couldn't pass it up, but when I got it home I struggeld to find a fitting way to display it. It changed locations in our house many times, but no place seemed to do it justice until recently when Jason surprised me with this shadowbox he made. Backed with antiqued sheet music and painted distressed black, it is the perfect spot for our little treasure. Three cheers for handy and creative hubbies!

An Amusing Audience...
This morning's dress up fun was interrupted by the boys' interest in a convey of trucks and crews from First Electric visiting our neighborhood for Spring tree trimming. The amusing audience did not go unnoticed by the workers who got a chuckle from being watched by a bumble bee and a red dragon...

Project Pizazz!
A dear friend of mine passed down this sweet little wooden table and chair set to the boys. C-N-C were getting so much use out of it, I quickly realized it would have a permanent home in our kitchen and I thought it was due for little face lift to add some pizazz... a little sanding, a coat of black paint and a little lime green ...
and voila..
