creatures!

so this girl is completely unafraid of creatures of all kind. 

she loves buggies! 

most days she runs around trying to catch some sort of creature. whether it be these weird beettle-like bugs that have invaded around our house or digging for worms.

if i don't catch her in time, her excitement gets the best of her and she, well, loves them a little too much.

a.ka. squishes them. 

oops.  

& this. ugh. i specifically asked her to NOT. pick. up. that. snake. 

& she did it anyways saying, "c'mere lil snakey, c'mere..." in her tiniest, cutest little voice. 

bleh. i could barely stand to take these shots. 

{& i have to advert my eyes as i even type this, avoiding such eye contact of said photos...}

i have vague memories of some other little girl i once knew who would catch critters, especially of the snake variety and put them in ziploc bags and bring in the house. let's hope those genes did not get passed on down to my girl!

then last week we came across a frog! it had hopped right up on her boots.

best. day. ever! 

she squealed with excitement & wanted to hold in her hands asap. 

i had to keep telling her to not squish it. she had a death grip on its midsection.

if she could've, she would've held on to that frog all day. 

love this girl & her love for creatures. 

except for the squirmy, scale-y type ones. 

no. thank. you.
