Olivia and Cicadas

She loves cicada shells.  Benjamin hates them.  He shivers when he even looks at them.  Several weeks ago she found several on the side of the house.  She picked them off of the house and stuck some of them onto her shirt. 

She even looks like she has a sneaky plan!

She is very happy about this!!

She had to pause so that they could have a kiss.  :D

It was funny.  It was even funnier when she said, "Mommy, I gonna go show dees to Bruller (brother) 'cause he will freak out!!!"  Then she giggled and ran to Benjamin's room.  She was right, he did freak out.  "Mom!!  Olivia has bugs on her shirt and she won't stop showing them to me!!"  I should have encouraged her to not torture her brother, however, it is hard to do that when you're cracking up laughing.  She is so different from her brother.

This morning she was riding her bike up and down the driveway.  She has learned to use her "big bike."  I was sitting on the porch because she wanted me to watch how fast she could go.  One time when she got close to the porch she noticed a cicada shell on the wall.  She pulled it off and stuck it to her shirt.  She told me that she hoped he could hold on in all the wind because she was going to ride "SO FAST!"  She was thrilled when he made it through the trip. 

What will she think of next?
