this is what luke carried into the house today and surprised me with. he came in from playing in the backyard and said "i have a surprise for you mommy". his hands were behind his back and, i have to admit, i was a little nervous and rightfully so. he then said "close your eyes". i did, reluctantly. and then when i opened them, this is what i saw. i screamed, of course. and then made him go back outside to pose for a picture.

boys and bugs. yuck!
