Dill-breaker

i know.  totally cheesy.  i couldn't resist.

i really am happy that the pickles i was planning on making last night were not dill pickles.  they were spicy pickles.  because these very hungry caterpillars managed to wipe out my dill in an afternoon.

a good mother would have put them in a cage of sorts and let them turn into butterflies.

i am not a good mother. 

i also live in a small house and don't relish caterpillars sharing real estate with my bedroom/kitchen/bathroom/living room.  what is left?  the garage?? too hot.  case in point.  i mean, seriously.  the 2 cats we do have are pushing it on shared space.

this is why i would eternally suck at homeschooling. 

but to prove that i am not all educational doom and gloom, this is ethan's sunflower he planted at school... it grew quite a bit. 

so i don't totally stink.  i didn't let the flower die.  i just halfway stink... faustino "took care of" the 20 or so little friends...

don't mess with my dill!
