What Grandparents Wouldn't Do For Their Grandson!

This month at Erik's school is BUG & INSECT month! In Erik's classroom, all parents are encouraged to bring in bugs to show to the toddlers! Well, upon hearing this request, Daddy was super excited since he really is the "master of bugs & insects"...at least as a child!

For the 4th of July, the homework for the family was to catch bugs! LOL! Grandma Katy caught a household fly first! Captured it into an old smucker's jelly jar. Daddy even gave the fly a little piece of apple to hold out its hunger?! Hahahah! See, how compassionate we are?! LOL!

Then, Grandpa Tom was outback (basically in our backyard) and found a praying mantis. All of a sudden, the fly was let go and the praying mantis was captured! Daddy brought the praying mantis in the next morning and all the kids loved it! The teachers were happy and even let the bug crawl all over them to show the toddlers that some bugs are not harmful (umm....but still gross for mommy!).

This Friday morning, Mommy found a tiny spider (since we got a request from the head teacher) but Daddy accidently...um...sent it to spider heaven! Thus Grandpa Tom and Grandma Katy started a backyard scavenger hunt, this morning, just right after breakfast. So instead, Erik got to bring in a tiny little moth instead! Hahahah!

SIGH! Erik is pretty lucky not just to have involved parents but to also have involved grandparents as well! I think he knows this as well since he gave Grandpa Tom an extra squeeze hug and kiss this morning before going to school.
