Summer Science....Betty Beetle

Drew, Tanner and Dalton did a summer Science project tonight!
They found a huge pitching beetle in our small garden, and decided to keep it, investigate and do a report on it.
They feed it crickets and made it a house out of an old hamster cage.
They spent about 3 hours watching and doing their reports. Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Hahn and Mrs. Raach ( all the other teachers too.... would be proud of them!!! =)


This is Betty the beetle!!

I got crispy burnt in a few spots!! Around my leg openings is the worst....kinda sore this morning. My frogs white of his eyes are pink now too on my tattoo...lol
My chest got it also, but it usually does some for some reason! :(

I started working-out and walking again too. Walking 3-4 miles and running the steps at Sacred Heart.....up steps down around driveway, up sidewalk and back up steps. I do this 5 times now and trying to add a few more times each night til I get to 10 reps a night.
