Our new pet!

We got a pet....


Yup, that's a Venus Fly Trap! The kids love! I take that back, Taylor and Caleb love it...Madison is scared of it :) She won't go in the kitchen when they have it out feeding it :) It is a really neat plant and the kids have enjoyed feeding "it" these tiny crickets (which you can get at your local pet supply store). I know y'all are all dying to go out and pick your family up one :)

Here is Taylor feeding it!


Caleb getting ready to get a cricket and feed it..he never would take the cricket!

It really isn't though....it is really cool. When you feed them they stay closed until they have digested the food then they open up and you know it is time to feed them again :) So much easier than a dog, cat, hamster, etc...no poop to clean up!

Nana got it at Kroger. It was her reward to the kids for their good grades :) They loved it!

What in the world possessed you...her...anyone? Haven't you seen Little Shop of Horrors?? JK! I'm sure it's fascinating. I almost bought one for my brother-in-law for Christmas one year.
