For Lexi's birthday we got her one of those butterfly farm things! And I gave in and sent away for the baby caterpillars at the beginning of May. By the time they had eaten all the gunk that was in the bottom of their little jars, formed a chrysalis, and were almost ready to hatch, I was on my way to Hawaii for my anniversary! So... Gma Linda had to pick up the slack and help after the hatching of the butterflies until I could get home, let them stick around for a few days, and then have the big release! There were 10 caterpillars in all to start, and amazingly enough... all 10 hatched healthy, and beautiful butterflies!
(And remember... I never let my kids do ANYTHING fun!)

We got Haley one of those for Christmas. The kids all loved it! I enjoyed it to--but man were they gross! I thought it would be so beautiful to watch, but I was totally grossed out watching the process. It was still fun! I need to get some more caterpillars.
THIS is the coolest thing ever.
Your a rockin mommy. That is wicked cool.
great photos. Really amazing shots of the butterfly on the kids.
