catching fire flies…

It is becoming a fun family event for us to go on a bike ride after dinner.  Side note:  Sometimes I can barely pull myself and other nights…I’m up for pulling my kids (combined weight has to be close to 60lbs).  A few nights ago…we did our bike ride.  Caleb loves to go “FAST!” He chants it as we ride…and depending on who is pulling him…one of us is usually panting saying he will go fast at the next hill.  When we got back from the ride…Matt cut the grass while I got the boys bathed and in their PJ’s.  After Caleb was ready for bed, he was watching his daddy cut the grass from the window.  I had an idea…and pulled J from bed (who was in there having a lovely conversation with himself-obviously not wanting to go to sleep).  We got the wagon out and started looking for fire flies.  Caleb loved it!  After I pointed them out to him and caught a few, he started pointing to them and yelling “light more”.  It was so fun.  I was running and jumping trying to catch them for him.  The little guys didn’t seem to want to sit still long enough to be transferred to Caleb’s hands.  I wonder why?  🙂  There may or may not been a few killed in the process.  🙂  Well, that was just  a night at the Deuel house!  Hope you are all having a good week!  Here are some pictures from our adventure…

So…this was definitely NOT from catching bugs…but too cute not to show and highlight my little 6 month old!
