The Ladybug & The Inchworm...

Good Thursday, dear readers. The grey morning here has turned into a sunny and golden afternoon, yay! And although it looks as though Mother Winter has come for her visit early and unannounced (but not unexpected), she has happily withheld most of the wet misery thus far. Keep contented, Mother Winter! We're not ready for your sleet and rain yet...

Anyhoo... Back to the point of this post. So the Ladybug has picked up a habit fromher sister of eating her morning toast into a variety of shapes. Usually it's a boat, but sometimes their toast magically transforms into cats or dogs or mice or cars, or whatever strikes their fancy at the moment. Always with sound effects. Endless sound effects. Breakfast at our house is interesting, what can I say?

So last week, the Ladybug was eating her breakfast alone, for once, as she's awoken much later than normal, and KayKay and I had already eaten and the Daddy had left for work some minutes before. I'm in the kitchen doing the dishes or some such thing, when she announces that there is a worm on her plate. Of course, such an announcement warrants investigation, so I go over to look, and I find inchworm toast.

Apparently he was hungry.

"Yummy! Tasty Eggs!" Thought the little inchworm.

After he'd had his fill, he started to wander off...  I guess he wasn't as hungry as the caterpillar or the Ladybug wouldn't have had any dipping eggs left!

With his tummy full and warm, he's off to the next adventure!

Unfortunately for him, he was unable to avoid capture. However he and his captor we both very cute and were willing to pose for a publicity photo. Aren't we lucky?

He doesn't seem unhappy with this turn of events, however the Ladybug looks surprised...

And so ends the story of the Ladybug and the Inchworm.

(Isn't this just so cute?!?! And he really did look like the little inchworms we find sometimes in the spring... Fun!)
