Mr. Mantis

Carter and I had the coolest experience....as we pulled up to the post office I noticed a beautiful praying mantis perched on my car hood. They are just so neat to watch. Carter and Eli watched as I carefully moved him to a nearby bush where he sat and watched the boys as closely as they watched him. Carter was absolutely intrigued at the way 'Mr. Mantis' (oh yea, we named him) moved his head and watched every movement around him. I love bugs so anytime my kids show interest in bugs and nature in general it creates a special moment for me. I answered a lot of questions and then we said good bye to our new friend wishing him the best at his new home in the post office's garden!
