Clueless

This little beetle was crawling on the Raspberry bushes, I couldn't find his identity. I have him in a jar; Ellie and I have enjoyed watching them crawl inside and outside the jar. Isn't he pretty; I hope he is a beneficial bug, but I doubt it. (See extra for his unique back.

We hope Ellie skips her nap every day so she goes to bed early but she gets tired. Today she fell asleep on the way to her ballet class; I let her sleep as long as possible, then woke her. She was still tired, but she willingly went to class.  She said she almost fell asleep during class but was wide awake when we got home. Going to bed was easy at her bedtime, which is always a plus. 

I took Ellie to preschool this morning and had 2 1/2 hours before I picked her up, so I stayed in the area and went shopping...oh, by the way, I don't enjoy shopping...but I found several things to buy...cool stuff, but I didn't NEED any of them. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow while she is in school, so that will keep me occupied, and I won't continue wasting time buying unneeded stuff.
