What Is It With Bugs and Boys? What Is It With Bugs and Boys?

What is it with boys and bugs?  Why is it that, they must bring them to me like a cat brings you a dead mouse or a bird? I am a girl!  And I do not like the creepy and the crawly, and somehow God had a sense of humor and gave me two very bug loving boys.  We have to search for worms in the garden and aptly name all of them.  Anything that has legs,... [Read more]

Jack and the Beanstalk, and A Child’s Imagination Jack and the Beanstalk, and A Child’s Imagination
