Lady bug Lady bug fly away home....

The little boys and I sent the bigger ones off to school today in the beautiful morning light, and as we watched them all either enter the playground or be scooped up by the school bus, we decided that it was a much better idea to stay out on the sidewalk searching the weeds nearby for ladybugs than going back in for breakfast. We found a couple, but not many, as I had just sprayed for weeds and they were pretty much dead. But then two dandylions had been found and wished upon which changed everything. Skyler's dandylion wish was for a kiss and hug from mommy. Michael's dandylion wish was that he could find a whole bunch of ladybugs. After Skyler got his wish, we decided to walk up the way a bit to the still living weeds off the side of the road. Boy oh boy was it ladybugpalooza! We luckily had our little tupperware box that was currently holding the various morning glories and dandylion variations that the boys picked for me. They made a perfect house for all the ladybugs.
One thing's for sure, though. Those who wish for something and believe they'll get it, will.
