Crickets

We occasionally have crickets in our house.  They gross me out.  They don't seem to bother the kids.  Calvin is our 'go-to-guy' for squishing any and all bugs and disposing of them.  However, today when we found a large cricket in our kitchen during lunch, Lilah had to step in. Calvin was at school and Lilah was the oldest kid home.  She went and got her shoe, went into the kitchen took one look at the cricket and  decided her flip flop wasn't going to cut it.  She came back with Madeline's sneaker.  Madeline's feet aren't even a full size bigger then Lilahs!  After a couple of tries she decided she need an even bigger shoe and hunted down one of Calvin's sneakers.  She was finally able to get that bug! 
She is now the official bug squisher during school hours!

 Ignore my dirty floor and cabinets and that dribble of milk down Lilah's dress.

We used to get lots of crickets in our first Arizona house, too. My tool of choice was the vacuum hose (my kids were 1 and 3 and no help:P) They jump unexpected places and freaked me out!
