Pet for the Day


Would you know that my kids love animals? Mostly the wild ones. This jar is full of a backyard wild pet. You can see one right in the middle of the jar. Any guesses? Well they are a little bug found in standing water...any guesses now? If you guessed Mosquito Larvae you are the WINNER! scratch-Autumn, Hunter and Dillon spent an hour catching all these little buggers and wanted to see them hatch...so they hatched-scratch. Well like any animal that needs to breath the lid had holes in the top-scratch-so before we could stop them they were free in the house-scratch. I have to say I was glad to have stocked up on cortizone cream-scratch.

  1. hahaha! They hatched and got loose? Bleh. It still cracks me up that they decided to keep mosquito larvae for a pet. Nice. Way to allow your kids experiments. You are one awesome Mom. Seriously. You are.

  2. You've been up to so many fun things. They should join mosquito abatement and earn lots of money keeping their pets...or killing them.

  3. Ash would die. That's her job to abate those guys! And you have them inside! She would pull out her fumer and yell, "Run for your life! I'll save you!"
