2 kids, 1 cat, and lots of ladybugs ...

Ladybugs swarmed our backyard recently, providing for an unusual form of entertainment for Little Man and Coco.

While plucking through the blades of grass counting the critters, they were joined by our cat Saphina.  She usually stays to herself, but for some reason she was wanting their company.  

Little Man, ever the mischievous one, decided to see if he could get a ladybug to ride on her back.

Saphina was quite the trooper.

 In typical cat fashion, she simply licked the bug off ...

...and commenced to stare at it. 

So Little Man decided to see if she'd put up with grass on her back.  Sigh.

Coco turned her attention back to the ladybugs. 

 Boys, bugs, pets, and pretty polka dot dresses .. 

looking forward to more spring days with childish enthusiasm.
