Friday Fun!

11/8/13

Hi, it’s The Bug, and it’s time for some Friday Fun! The most exciting thing I did this week was get a smoothie…

Ummm, I mean go to a Rutgers football game for grandma’s birthday…

Then I  got comfy using mommy as a chair…

More comfy than this guy…

And I made a ginormous mess…

Again!
