Confetti and mud bugs

First off, I have never heard of confetti eggs. Maybe I have just been missing something all these years but you can buy them here at HEB and they are just eggs filled with confetti that you can crack on others. The kids across the street have had them out the last few days and are so excited to go around popping them on each other.
So the very good mother I am...... when Ladybug came running inside and said I have a surprise for you, you have to come now! Her and the neighborhood kids were setting me up to break one on me. So I dutifully went along like I didn't know what was going to happen. And I got confetti all over me.

Now on to Mud Bugs. I didn't know they were called this. Our neighbors had a crawfish boil and invited us to stop by. In south Mississippi we had a few we went to but that was like 10 years ago (wow, I am getting old!) And this was the kids first experience.

Let me tell you it was wonderful. I really don't care to peal them and my sweet husband peeled most of them for me but the potatoes and corn and sausage that they cooked with it was wonderful!
Batman got to help fill the cooler up with water to clean them.

Then they decided to fight two of them.
Love this picture of him!
Yep, they are pretty ugly.
Ladybug had no problem picking them up.
Daddy played awhile too.



Time to try one.
"It's not my favorite," she said. In other wards, it was pizza rolls for the kids!

Team work.

I love this one!
Then they all got one out and started playing with them on the table!
More cleaning.
Final product. Delicious!!
