FINDING SCORPIONS

Okay, totally misleading title. If we were literally finding scorpions in my house, we wouldn't BE in my house. We'd be finding a new house... That being said, my middle boy is OBSESSED with the creatures. It is quite strange. But I try not to dissuade interests, so I bought him a bug dig kit for his birthday that came in the shape of - you guessed it - a scorpion. Once the [literal] dust from camping had settled, we busted out the dig kit and gave it a go. The recent birthday boy was even kind enough to share his gift and allow everyone a turn at digging for bugs (possibly at the urging of a parent). National Geographic makes some awesome toys.
