Pictures, Preying & Pirates

Today was a busy day in the Sandidge house - school pictures, feeding the preying mantis and national "talk like a pirate day".
so handsome
Cooper said he was the most handsome boy in his class!

 When I picked the kids up from after school, Reagan had found a grasshopper that she said would be perfect to give to the preying mantis.  So, I caught the grasshopper and carried it home for the mantis' dinner.
it must have been super-yummy
 the kids enjoyed the "epic battle"
I have much better, longer, more graphic videos...but they're too large to upload

 Today was national "Talk Like a Pirate" Day and in honor of that, Krispy Kreme was giving away a dozen donuts if you came dressed like a pirate.  One family in our small group did and brought 4 dozen donuts to our Bible study!!
Arrgh!  These are so delicious!

Birthday and Bugs

This week, my work celebrated September birthdays...and I just happen to have one!
our cake!
Reagan caught a Preying Mantis earlier in the week, so we've been on the look-out for moths to feed it.  I caught one last night and it didn't take the mantis long to devour it!
