Bugs!

Happy Monday!!  Over the past few weeks, we've spent alot of time pondering insects of all sorts.  There have been the evenings trying to catch firelies...The worms that we found in the dirt while planting flowers...The butterflies that we've been chasing with little nets...And the bees that have been buzzing all around the garden.  Now, truth be told, we haven't caught a single butterfly and holding worms in my hands makes me a little queasy.  But since I've been trying to follow Munchkin's interests, this week's Munchkin Theme is Bugs!  Here's what we'll be up to this week:
