What we've been up to

I had a bunch of pictures from the past two weeks of different things we've been up to and decided to just lump them all together in one post.

Below are some pictures from some butterflies we hatched (is that even the right word). My Mom bought this kit that included a butterfly house. We sent away for the caterpillars. Once they arrived we got to watch them turn into butterflies. How fun!!!

These are the cocoons hanging before the caterpillars turned into butterflies. Of course I forgot to take pictures of the caterpillars before we started this, but they were there!


Here is our first butterfly.

After about a week we let them go. I told the kids it wouldn't be very nice to make the butterflies live in a cage their whole lives. Now they are out exploring the world! Now when Abby sees a butterfly she thinks it's one of ours coming to visit!!!

One after it was released hung out on our grass for a while.

Abby with some pretty face painting we did at Shelby's school carnival.

Jack on his bouncing/spinning Zebra he got for his birthday. He really likes it but likes Abby to help him. I think once he gets better at jumping he'll like it even more. It's funny because he used to love his jumper, but now seems to have forgotten how to jump. It's still fun though.

Jack and Abby, how cute!

Abby spinning Jack around on it while he stands. This can't be that safe, but they like it anyway.

Just some cute pictures of Jack and Abby.

On the last picture it looked like Abby was strangaling Jack!
