Butterflies!!!!

Grandma Hansen mailed us some caterpillars that we could grow into butterflies at home. It was a fun project! The kids loved watching them change into cocoons and then butterflies. When I got them in the mail and opened them I was explaining to Jake what it was and he quickly interupted me and said, "duh mom, you mean metamorphosis!" It was hilarious. He sure put me in my place. Lily, Leif and I were in Utah when they hatched so Mike took some pictures for us! Jake was very proud!

Thanks for all the photos and journaling....I know the Hansen's appreciate it too. Tell Mike it is a good thing he took pictures of the butterflies before he let them go...as I had been watching them too. Grandma Gene thinks you are awesome as are the children!
