Caroline spied my giant Elmer's craft glue stick the other day. "Oh mom, I want some for my wips, pease?" (I gave her some real chapstick instead.)

Both kids have loved finding ladybugs in our front yard. Caroline gets especially excited and we have to remind her to be gentle with the little bugs.
Rylan gave Caroline some wise advice: "If you squeeze the ladybug, weird juice will come out."
And mama could add, they make a gross crunching sound.
