buggin’ out

“I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top to capture Tinkerbell.
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye, but I could always tell”

– Faith Hill

This summer marked the first that we allowed T to stay up past her bedtime ONLY for the fun of catching lightning bugs.

She’s caught them in the past, of course – but always as an added bonus to something we’re already staying out late for . . . never just because.

She loves her little buggy buddies, and has quickly become an expert firefly wrangler. It’s almost as if they WANT her to nab them!

But then. . . who wouldn’t want to be captured by someone as adorable as she?!!
