One day when we got home from school the kids came running into the house screaming about a massive, hairy spider in the garage. I told them to take the fly swatter and squish it. They headed out to do that and then quietly came back in to get some supplies. This is what I found 20 minutes later. Rylie and Mason in their explorer vests with a small train track set up and the spider riding in the train. Zach was in on it too, but he was mad about something when I was taking the pictures. I am not sure when the transition happened from screaming about the spider to playing with the spider. They even had to find another spider and crickets to ride with the first spider and keep him company.
Rylie's outfit is another story:
She came home from school way excited about going to the opera on a field trip. Somewhere she got the impression they were supposed to dress up. She talked about what she was going to wear for a week. The night before we had a babysitter and she had her help pick something out. After school the next day she was sooo bummed. They didn't actually see an opera they just talked about what an opera is and you didn't have to dress-up!
While the other kids were playing with spiders, Tirzah was in the bathroom singing and fixing her pony's hair.
She is of a different breed than the first three.
