Princess

You are probably wondering what the heck this is????

I was thinking the same thing when Marlee gave it to me friday when I picked her up from preschool. {i know i have been blogging a lot about what Marlee has been doing lately but, seriously the kid kills me.}

I picked Marlee up from preschool on Friday & she handed me this plastic cup with a WORM
in it. I said, a "real one" yep mom I found it & I named it PRINCESS! I screamed cause Marlee knows I hate them. I don't know why but, I do! She started laughing & said, Mom I get to take care of it at home & my teacher gave me rules & instructions how I can have a pet worm at home! {WHAT}......

~feed your worm once or twice a week. They like vegetable peels, crushed eggs, & leaves. They don't like meat, or dairy foods that will make them sick!!!

~Make sure they get lots of water. Worms don't like if the soil is too dry or way too wet! Just sprinkle a little on top.

~Worms prefer an average room temerature (about 72 deg or 22 deg C) Just like you..

~After 1 or 2 weeks you should release your worm into the garden cause they really do prefer to be outside where they can help plants grow & have more space to move!

I mean really... I was laughing all the way home because I thought to my self what am I going to do with a worm in my house??? Wonder if she lets it loose I would have a heart attack?? wonder if she put it on Garrett & he squished it?? wonder if she played a trick on me & put it in my covers in bed???? what if... what if.... what if.....

Then I had a brilliant idea.. Nate was taking Cayden fishing on Saturday {the first big day of the season} I told Nate, hey I have this cute little girl named "princess" that would love to go with you.. Marlee overheard me & started crying. Mom, NO you can't let dad take "princess" I love her too much I don't want the fishies to eat her.. She would be so sad!!!

So, yep I still have "princess" & I'm trying to convince her that her family misses her. She is headed to the backyard tomorrow. Unless someone else wants a pet worm let me know?? :) It just cracks me up that her teacher wrote down instructions how to take care of a worm that my daughter found!!

P.S. "princess" was sad that she didn't get to go fishing!!! [wink, wink] :)
