My New Centerpiece

I was in desperate need of another plant for my living room, so imagine how thrilled I was to see that Luke had taken it upon himself to make one for me! I found him making his own Venus fly trap out of construction paper and tape, so I decided to jump in and help him finish the task after he worked about three hours on this by himself. My Venus fly traps are the ones whose spines are obtuse triangles, all the other leaves are his. I helped him trim the bottom so that it would fit in a spare plastic pot I found under our kitchen sink and afterwards he made paper beetles and slugs to fill the closed traps with.

Note the two black traps that have overeaten and must be trimmed for the health of the plant! :)


"Pardon me, but there seems to be a Venus fly trap in your hair."

A Sneak Peek!

During our Christmas break, we hired Leila to take some family pics in Long Beach. Here is a preview of some of the fun!
