In The Line of Fire

Today the kids were out riding their bikes when they came across a grasshopper that had been squished on the sidewalk. The girls instincts set in and they began to mother him at once.
Poor little guy. When we found him his guts were on the sidewalk and he was missing a leg. Not to mention that one of his arms was still moving. Carmen and Morgan loaded him onto the scooter and carted him around for awhile. Here they are doing some investigating.
He is going for a ride. I don't think Carmen understands the concept of death. Maybe she is in denial. She then ran inside and came out with two cups. One with water in it and the other was empty. She later informed me that the water was his swimming pool and the cup was land. I don't think he felt like going swimming.

That is so sweet and cute in a fairly strange way...your girls seem like they have great motherly instincts! :)
