Sparkles was the name of Lainey's roly-poly pet. (I say "was" because I don't think that Sparkles is still alive.) Sparkles the roly-poly is not to be confused with Sparkles the ant, who is Lainey's special ant whom only she can identify. Sparkles lives outside in the front yard, near a concrete block thing (I think it covers up some wires or something).
Lainey found Sparkles at the gym (they had been playing outside). Hence the cup. We put some wood chips and parsley (I think) in there to provide her with some comfort.
After a couple of hours in her jail, Sparkles was set free.
Sparkles had a hard time uncurling. Even when Walker "tickled" her with a leaf. :) Lucky Sparkles. We came back outside after about five minutes and the kids were so excited that Sparkles was still in the same spot. I don't think she was long for this world. ;)

Update: Sparkles was still in the same spot the next morning. I think she officially expired...so we buried her in the grass next to the driveway. Poor Sparkles...but I can't say that I was all that surprised. ;)
