Its bug week

It's been another crazy week at our house. Between dance, reading lessons, teaching a ton and the million other things us moms like to throw on our plates, it's been a little busy around here. Needless to say our summer is flying by. To fast I think... Any ways, this week we learned all about bugs. We started off our week by watching Bugs Life. We also went to the Bean Museum at BYU to check out some bugs. They have tons of really creepy things. We got some bug catchers and went for a bug hunt. We made several little bug art projects which is always a huge hit. We finished off our week learning about worms which I know they aren't technically bugs but I had some fun worm stuff I wanted to do with the kiddos.


Ready to catch some bugs




While digging in the dirt, Brigham found a spider. He was talking a lot of smack to the spider saying "I'm not afraid of you spider, I'm gonna trap you and keep you forever" Brigham screamed like he was being attacked by a ferocious animal when the spider crawled closer to him. He decided to just catch ants.


We made some spider hats. Super easy and the kids loved it


Doesn't he look thrilled to wear his spider hat?


Sorry so blurry. We played a good game of Little Miss Muffet. The kids have played this everyday since.


The Bean Museum


I was worried that looking at all these bugs would give the kids nightmares. It didn't seem to bother them but I still feel like I have something crawling on me.


We read this cute book about a worm. I would recommend checking out from the library.


We made some "worm slime". The kids totally loved this and it was so easy to do!






We had a worm race... Mostly for my entertainment


We of course ended our all about worm day by eating some worms. They were actually quite tasty.


This is a finger print bug picture. The kids always like doing art projects and this is one that we will definitely do again




Ok now onto non bug related stuff. Mckell had some friends over for a tea party. The girls enjoyed decorating some cup cakes, had some lemonade and got their nails painted. They had so much fun together! I just love listening to them talk and play. Mckell was in heaven having her friends over and I'll admit that the girl party was fun for me to!






Seven Peaks with the cousins. Can I just say that I am sooo glad that my kids have some great cousins to play with. They LOVE them, and I do to!


Chocolate chip muffin + baby = very bad idea
