Reflections, Cat-coon, and Caterpillars?!

The boys have been excited about doing Reflections this year.  They entered last year, but didn't win anything.  They were so jealous of Alyssa winning that they wanted to do a really good job this year. 

 So far they have drawn pictures and made stuff out of clay.  (Hoping with a few entries something will win.)

 They decided to make things out of clay, so they have to let them dry before they can paint them.

 Alyssa and her friends have been talking about the neighborhood CAT-COON...half cat half raccoon.  Alyssa has been super scared having it in the neighborhood (only a few people claim to have seen it.)  I told them it wasn't real, but the boys and their friend Hayden decided they were going to catch it.  They even set out a food trap for it.  But they still haven't found it.

This is the first tomato caterpillar I have ever seen.  It is huge.  The boys were the ones that found it...they also killed it for me.  (I don't dare get near it, other than to take this picture.)
