It's only the end of June, and already the heat is stifling here southeast Texas. It's taking it out of me, and other than taking care of my family and our home, I have little energy for much else--including blogging.  This morning, The Husband came home from work and found that our caterpillar-now-moth had emerged from its cocoon sometime during the night/early morning hours. It was flying so hard that it would shake the jar when it hit :/ It sure wasn't a pretty little fella, but it was a neat process to watch take place over the last few weeks.  Anyway, we showed the kids, and the three of them released it before breakfast.  This afternoon, when I went to get Ella from her room, Jack managed to reach up on the counter and found The Husband's razor. Yikes!! I caught him just as he started "cutting his hair like Daddy." But he still managed to remove quite a chunk.

So yesterday was Friday, and I would have done a "five facts Friday" post except I only had two things to share.

Can we say, "one of these things is not like the others?"  Actually, two of those things, haha, but still. Apple and cherry pie filling don't quite seem to fit with Mexican food items... Also, yesterday was our "exploration day" on our summer weekly learning activity schedule, and while we were playing on the porch, I found this little guy. He's currently residing on our kitchen table, so that he doesn't kill my marigold plants with his voracious appetite! He seems to be thriving according to the many, many deposits he's left at the bottom of the jar. Ew.
