Tick...or should I say SICK!

I can't believe I am blogging about this, but I am... I made it to 33 before having to deal with a tick, heck I don't think I have ever even seen a tick until now. But you can walk out into our yard now and get ticks on you if you aren't careful. I haven't experienced one on me yet, only Chad and Kayla have had that joy err I mean horror. Kayla was pretty funny when she found hers. She didn't cry, just said

"mom...what is this bug on my arm?"

Me "um lets see...(proceeding to lift the bug with my finger and noticing it not coming off by the head) CHAAADD!!!!!"

Kayla: "its a tick?"

Me: "its okay, we will get it off"

Kayla: "but I didn't want it there!"

Me: (trying not to laugh and say did you tell the tick that but ending up saying "I'm sorry, lets not play in the bushes anymore!"

The kids and I have discovered tons of new species of bugs...most of which we(okay I) don't like! But we try and focus on the ones we do like, which is the fire flies. Now those are the kind of bug I can live with. They just mind there business and look pretty. All the rest I wouldn't miss a bit.

Creepy looking things huh?!?! This is the one that was on Kayla. Fortunately she loves bugs...not sure where she got that love from, unless you mistakes my love of my beetle as a love for bugs :) lol
