Update to my Creepy Bug

I finally know what my Creepy Bug is. Thank you Jessica. Its a Katydid.
True Katydids are relatives of grasshoppers and crickets. They grow over two inches long and are leaf-green in color.

Katydids have oval-shaped wings with lots of veins. They resemble leaves.

True Katydids live in forests, thickets, or fields with lots of shrubs or trees. Katydids spend most of their time at the tops of trees where most of the leaves are.

Usually katydids are heard, but not seen.

Well Im amazed.

Play time with Baby Laney








The kids have been so excited for baby Laney to come. She arrived last night and we so happy to see her. We just love her so much. Shes just the best little baby. I can't believe it a few weeks ago she was just starting to sit up a bit and now she just sits there for ever playing. Shes happy and content. Princess D brought her everyone of her baby dolls to play with and she shared her Lego table very well I thought. Little D and Princess D decided that they would compete who could hug Baby Laney the most. This morning Baby slept in until 8:30 and Little D was chomping at the bit to wake her up. We took her to the park this morning to swing, swam in the pool and played hard. Both Girls are sacked out hard right now. :)

ITs Potty Training Time





Its time for Potty Training for our little Princess D. I can not believe it as I still want to keep her a baby but we need to take her ques and go with the flow. Maybe it wont last be a few days since she is still young but we have to try. Right? I never used a little potty for Dean just a small potty seat to go on ours. I am not big on emptying poo or pee from a little potty. Diana seems to have the hang of getting the foot stool, putting it by the potty, taking down her pull up and then sitting down on it. So far no pee pee but she still likes to wipe, flush, and wash. Big girl

Creepy Bug




Today I was washing dishing talking on the phone ( No surprise right),I kept looking outside at this leaf on the chair. After some time I noticed that this leaf looking thing was moving. Now I know it was not a walking stick but what was it. Was it really just a leaf blowing in the wind or was it something else. As I got closer to it I noticed it was this really creepy bug. I have never seen a bug like this before. I can not believe it but I had not. I have been searching and Searching but I can not come up with a name for it. It sits on what looks like a grasshopper body and the body is covered with two wings that look exactly like a small leaf. It has long long antenna's. Can anyone help?
