Bee's!!!


The last couple of days it has finally been warm enough for the kids to play outside and they have taken to killing bees, or at least trying. I keep telling them that the bees won't bother them if they leave them alone, but them seem to think it would just be easier to kill them all. We don't have a yard yet, just weeds, dirt and rocks, and the bees love the little purple flowers. The funniest thing is that Austin tries to kill the bees with a broomstick (no broom)! He's pretty dangerous with it, but not towards the bees, towards his brother and anyone within his "whacking" distance. Sivai uses a slighly more effective large stick.
When a bee is spotted Sivai sounds the alarm, "torches, torches" and off they go screaming "whack the bees, whack the bees!!!" So far they have not been stung, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before their luck runs out, or is it my luck?

I love your "so calm" attitude! I am SO scary of bees to being with that I would have already high tailed Sadie inside and made Nick chop down all the weeds! I guess we'll see when we get in our house and have all the weeds to deal with next year.
