Crickets Anyone??

Ya for spring!! Right? WRONG! I only say wrong because I'm FREEZING, yes FREEZING, here we are in almost in the middle of April, I swear last year it already felt like summer. Now it feels a lot more like winter, We've even got a fire going in the fire place, and I'm wearing socks..
The kids were off all last week for spring break, it pretty much stunk, poor Logan was sick all but one day. I felt so bad, not knowing he was sick, the boy really does not complain. he was fine all day, played with friends and ate like a horse, next thing I know he's laying on the couch, cheeks bright red, and just in a daze. I take his temp and BOOM 103 and Vomiting So here I am washing sheets, Jammie's, and floors. The only good thing about him being sick, (I know, I know, how can I say there is a "good thing" about him being sick) but he wants to snuggle ALL day, and he is just so cuddly. No I don't like him being sick, but I am trying to be positive.
So the one day he was better we hit the road to the Wild Animal park with some good friends, it was a great day, just a bit crowded. First thing we decided to see was the Butterfly display, they only come once a year, and it is really beautiful. The line was about 45 minutes long, so we ate lunch and chatted while we waited. A few of the workers were walking around in Butterfly costumes handing out MEAL WORMS to taste.. yes you heard me correctly, TOO TASTE. At first I thought it was a joke just to see who would do it, but they were serious! and my Morgan and Logan wanted to try it. ahhhhhhhh Well if They could do it.... So could I, OMG my friend and I had them in our mouths, luckily they were cooked and seasoned, honestly they did not taste "bad" kind of like Doritos, however the after taste, not so good.. Morgan however really liked them and kept asking for more. So after the tour, My friend went back to get her stroller and came back with CRICKETS! cooked and seasoned CRICKETS!... I refused to put one in my mouth, but of course Morgan was all for it. I seriously thought Logan would have been the one to put it in his mouth but NO, not even Logan would do it. The funny part was when Morgan was taking off its legs and sharing them with her friends, or saying " mommy look, I'm eating the butt.. AHHHH EWE GROSS, but the worst part was after she ate it and was talking, you could see little cricket bits all over her tongue. We found out there is a store near by that sells them cooked and flavored, She keeps asking me to buy them for her.. After we came home from the park, both kids went outside to see if they could find crickets for me to cook.. At least I have comfort knowing that if they are ever lost in a jungle, they will be just fine, just as long as there are crickets and meal worms around.C
