Lady Bugs

So with all this gorgeous weather comes the reemergence of all the damn lady bugs, japanese beetles, whatever they are they are everywhere! So of course they get into the house, who knows how, and my daughter seems to have made it her own personal misson to find each and every one. And then she brings them to me, dead or alive, squished or not, mommy gets loads of presents every day, which I supposse is better than her eating them, since she usually puts everything she finds in her mouth. I remember in college walking out of my history classes in Ross hall and the whole side of the building would be one big writhing mass of those damn things, disgusting, but oh well, I'll take the lady bugs if it means this fabulous indian summer, because we all know, I HATE IOWA IN THE WINTER! Yuck, I am so not looking forward to it.
