Father's Day

We had a pretty quite Father's Day. The kids snuggled up together for a show while we let Daddy sleep in.

Daddy and his girl enjoyed some ice cream cones together. 

But, Gianna spent most of the day tending to the needs of this caterpillar (the green thing toward the top right), who she named Lisa, for some reason. She literally spent hours rearranging Lisa's "house" of rocks and feeding her parsley (Lisa's favorite). Gianna was pretty sure Lisa wanted to eat and swim in that cup and shovel of water, but finally Doug was able to convince her that Lisa prefers dry parsley. Lisa ate a ton of it and by evening Lisa was gone, but left behind lots of poop, which was fascinating to Gianna ("Daddy, she pooped again!). It was very cute to see her so interested in this caterpillar even though there were moments of extreme dismay. Like when we told her that caterpillars don't like, want, or use pillows and blankets, even if these items were pebbles and leaves. I can just imagine us trying to force poor Lisa's head on to a pebble or to force her to keep a leaf on her. Good luck, Lisa, where ever you are!
