Menagerie

I am such a sucker for animals.  Ben seems to be taking after me & his room is starting to look like a zoo!!!  Ben now has the two fire-bellied toads and three hermit crab, plus one of his school friends gave him two tadpoles.  He's had to go back to keeping his door shut so that the cats don't get the tadpoles!!!  We also have had a bumper crop of swallowtail caterpillars on the parsley and we have 6 or 7 of them in various stages of metamorphosis!!! I am even supplying the second grade classroom with them this year....
