Do ladybugs drink milk?

So it's cold - brrrrr Anyway - I brought in some of my plants from outside and there happened to be a couple of ladybugs on them - which thrilled Ella.... She got one to get on her finger and it was crawling around - she was in heaven. So, we had just finished dinner when all this was happening and oooops... the ladybug fell into her milk.... So I was quick to be the ladybug lifeguard.... It broke my heart - Ella was really crying about the ladybug (I think she thought it was her fault) and she was saying "don't die ladybug" - big ol dragon tears rolling down her cheeks. So - off to the sink I went, pouring her milk and caught the ladybug in my fingers. It had it's wings out and started crawling on my hand (slowly)... I cleaned off my other hand and let it crawl onto it... I decided to put it on my plant, you never know, there might be a aphthid (sp?) or two to help the ladybug replenish...

I am proud to say that our ladybug is still alive 4 hours later and has even flown a little big. There was a light, and well it's a bug... But all it well! Mommy to the rescue..

I wonder if they give our metals for that?

The Perfect Pumpkin

We went to Carolyn's Pumpkin Patch with my moms group - everyone got a pumpkin.... Ella found her perfect baby pumpkin.... Carolyn's is always soo much fun! But she cut her finger on some hay (I think it was the wire holding the hay) and home we went....

Shawnee German Festival

So my brother in law's german club (he's from germany) has a Oktoberfest every year out in Shawnee. They have all kinds of fun stuff including German Dancers. So Ella and her cousin Tegan wanted to be german dancers too. So if this video comes through - enjoy... Too....... Funny....

blah blah blah

So have I mentioned how sick of this election crap I am???? Let November get here already!!!!

Had an exciting weekend. Gabe went to Tulsa to watch the MU game that was played in Nebraska (I know, they are funny)... Ella spent the night at her cousins in Olathe... So I had from 6pm Saturday to 4 pm Sunday all alone... Mom and I went to Harrah's Saturday night, didn't win but I found a new favorite slot machine!!!! Mom won $20 on a machine she didn't even want to play..... I bet she wants to play it again now!

Didn't get much done besides laundry - just chilled. It was nice.

Funny Ella quote:

Me - Ella, it's time to go to sleep, no more excuses
Ella - But I have alot of excuses
Me - OK, well no more for tonight...

Gotta love kids :-)
