You wanna know what's BUGGING me?

The boys involved with the thrill of the hunt.

The word of the day is WORMS!!! We have spent many hours this spring rooting around the yard for as many worms as we can find. Every one we find is just as exciting as the first. Another object of desire is the roly poly-- also known as the pill bug. And why not throw in some caterpillars?

We've also found a great video that fits right in: Popular Mechanics for Kids, Slither and Slime and other Creepy, Crawly Stuff . The boys

watch these episodes over and over again. And of course it is easy to slip in The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Did you ever sing this song? We have a short trip tomorrow and I think its time to teach the boys one of the great classics.

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,

They crawl in thin and they crawl out stout.

They bury you deep in a deep dark hole,

They leave you there to decay and mold.

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,

They eat your guts and they spit them out.

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,

The worms play pinochole on your snout.

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,

The worms play pinochle in your snout,

They eat your guts, and spit them out,

And then they use them for sauerkraut.

Did you ever see a hearse go by,

And think that someday you'll prob'ly die?

They put you in a little box,

And cover you up with dirt and rocks.

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,

The worms play pinochle on your snout.

Your guts they turn a slimy green,

And then they come out like whipping cream...
