Spiders for Breakfast

Tripp really enjoys helping out around the house now, not that we didn't make him before, but now it is not as much a chore as something he volunteers to do. It is super helpful to me and it's fun for him to be able to contribute in tangible ways. The other day, he wanted to make us breakfast. I told him that was fine and that we could make whatever he wanted. He helps me menu plan a lot and does a relatively good job, so I thought this would be similar. However, he had been so excited about a snack that he had at camp last week, he thought that it would make a good breakfast for all of us. He told me what we were having- spiders; what we needed- donuts (and the white kind were ok for this cause apparently the nature lady said that there are white spiders), pretzels and m and ms; and how to make it- first you get a donut, then you count out 8 pretzels. but they have to be the stick kind. then you put them in, and then you get two m and ms. the same color. and then you put those on for eyes.
So this past Friday, we had all had spiders for breakfast.

Someone had to eat the mismatched m and m's:
