Bugs!

The girls have had an increasing interest in bugs lately. Every time we go on a walk we are on the hunt for bugs- mostly ants. They are fascinated to watch them carry things in their mouths. Catilyn puts out her little foot and says "Squish" repeatedly as she tries unsuccessfully to squish them. It's pretty cute & I love that my girly girls are enamored with bugs.

Last week we borrowed a bug pan from a friend to make some bug cupcakes. And boy were we EXCITED when we received a package in the mail from grandma that same day with the movie "A Bugs Life"! So we ate our bug cakes & watched the movie!
Madisen decorated this lady bug all by herself!

That's awesome. I need to get one of those bug cupcake molds. Chloe's very fascinated with bugs too. We should get these girls together!

Beautiful cupcake. It looks too pretty to eat and look at Madisen's bright smile.
Love, Grandma

What a cute activity. I love that you always have such creative things for your kids to do. I love all your picture collages...especially your blog header.

You are a good mom. I think I would definitely have a hard time being excited about my kids loving bugs.
