Our Caterpillars. Since Logan stayed home with mom this year, we thought we would do something fun as if he were in preschool. So we got Caterpillars. They were so small when we got them.
Madison and Spencer were so excited for us to get Caterpillars. We thought it would be fun to watch them change into butterflies. Each of the kids took turns keeping the caterpillars in their room.
We watched them get bigger and bigger for about 10 days until one day they formed their chrystalids. They were in there for about 2 weeks.
Now we have 5 beautiful butterflies!!! It is too cold to release them (55 degrees today) but as soon as it gets up to 65 we will let them go. We feed them sugar water, and oranges. They seem to like that. The kids have each named their butterflies. Princess, Spiderman, Dora, Spotty, and Daisy. (I helped Taryn)I took them outside to get a little sun. But too cold. Aiden was trying to
let them go.

What a great thing to do with your kids, something fun and educational at the same time! They are lucky to have such a wonderful mother!!
I love that you've got a blog and can't wait to read more about your fun adventures. The kids are getting so big - I am shocked Taryn is already 8 months!!! WOW! Happy early birthday to Trent. Take care. Eileen
