The Luck of the Mantis is Strong with Us

We saw at least five matis on the fence by the mint this weekend.  One of them, in the second photo, we actually saw poop!  



I saw this one catch a bug off the mint and eat it.  



We always find egg casings in the mint and this Spring was no exception.  We hid the casing in a broken pot to keep the casing safe until they hatched.  




Hopefully it will be another lucky year for us.  


Baylor has been asking to wash the van and I was happy to because it is disgustingly dirty.  I am sure it was happy to get the film of grime off of it!  And Baylor loved playing with the water and bubbles in the bucket!


Sunday we were invited to Mrs Sarah's house for a cookout and for the kids to play.  Baylor was in a Batman hat and caped shirt.  Then he put the hat on backwards!  


There were many kids there and they started out playing Transformers on the hill in the back yard and the games went to zombie hunting to general chaos over the course of the evening.  


He really had a good time with Shawn and the other kids, with me, it was more of a struggle to have fun with!
