For the last couple of weeks we have had a giant spiderweb outside our window. Billy really wants to watch the spider, but unfortunately it stays well hidden until dark. Last night I video-taped him for Billy, but today a fly got caught in the web and the spider ran right down to eat him up! Lucky Billy got to watch this HUGE spider catch the fly, roll it up, and haul it back into it's corner. It's so cool when kids get to witness nature first hand. Always the scientist, Billy now knows how a spider can't see well, but feels the bugs in the web and how it kills them.
And so later we made spiders to hang on a spider web in the preschool/playroom:
Also notable: Yesterday we were asking Billy if he'd ever seen the Flinstones. He replied: "No, I haven't. Awww, I'm so ashamed!"
Alexa learned to do somersaults!
okay, i know this will sound cruel, but grab grasshoppers, take off their legs, and toss them into the web... that spider will get all al roker and oprah in one afternoon.
