They Hatched!!!

A while back... Like a few months ago... Jordan came inside with a cocoon type of thing hanging on a holly branch, He thought it belonged to a "Praying Mantis" but we were not sure. We let the thing on the window sill in a jar ever since! Justin came home from school the other day and said that they had a  Praying Mantis cocoon at school to and they hatched! I got right to putting a lid on the jar on my window sill because he said they came out by the hundreds!

This evening Jordan noticed that things were coming alive inside the mason jar on our window sill!!

And were they ever!! I tried to get some pictures under the light and this is the best picture I can give of these things!! There must be hundreds of them!! And now what do we do with them??

I hate to see them die but as soon as I leave them outside they will die!  I would think they need air to but they are so tiny that even if I crack the lid they will get away!!

This is what is left of the cocoon and they are still coming out!!

 

I like "Praying Mantis"! Any tips on what to do with them?? I guess I need to google it??:)

 

We are so enjoying the warmer weather!! We spent time outside today and soaked up the sun!!

 

Javon enjoying his birthday bike today in the sun...:)

Jenika has gotten her dress for Matthew and Roxy's wedding. She does not like to dress up and did not appreciate me fitting this on her today! She said she looks "ugly" and does not look forward to wearing this on "wedding day"! She would prefer PJ's I'm sure!:) We are looking forward to your special day Peter and Roxy!! Jen is to... she just don't know it yet...;)

Javon wearing his daddy's running shoes...:) We want to get a good run in tomorrow morning. We did not get out this morning and went to do a small finish job for a customer instead. I love it that I can not sleep in because early mornings out with Dave are fun...:) At one time sleep would have mattered to me more but now I can't sleep anyway so I might as well get up early!...:)

Looking forward to Sunday School tomorrow. Next week is busy with Belize planned Friday-Tuesday for Dave and I. Things are coming together but trips like these take careful preparation~:)

Looks like another warm day tomorrow... Enjoy it and be a blessing!!
