Having released our ladybugs in the garden at dusk yesterday, we awoke this morning to a garden full of pretty poka dot ladies :-)

When I tell you these "ladies"  kept Matteo outside playing with them for 2-3 hours I am not kidding, he and Chloe May loved picking them up, moving them (usually outside of the garden...to which I know not the purpose), and had us singing "

Ladybird, ladybird fly away home,

Your house is on fire and your children are gone,

All except one,

And her name is Ann,

And she hiding under the frying pan.  (Does it bring back childhood memories)?

And in the "close but not quite there", Chloe May is signing "bug"  :-) 

 

with my car in the shop being repaired and the spackle men done, this week is already starting off on a better note!
