Eating Bugs!

Occasionally I feed the kids bugs! Yes, that's right. BUGS!!

One of my kids favorite things to eat is soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. I cannot, however, just simply make grilled cheese sandwiches. They must be turned into butterflies. (I have also been known to make them into spiders as well.) When we eat our bug sandwiches, we must also drink bug blood (red Kool-aid or Juice).

I started this tradition a long time ago when one of the kids was sick. They didn't want to eat anything so I made a butterfly sandwich for them. It worked like a charm, and so that's the way it has been ever since. Although we do use various things to make the bodies (pretzel sticks for the antennae, oranges for the bodies etc.) the fact remains that when we have grilled cheese........

WE EAT BUGS!!!!!!
