Butterfly and the weekend.....

well I have to say, keeping up with this daily is not as easy as I thought it would be.  
Friday morning after taking the kids to school I noticed our caterpillar had finally turned into a butterfly.  I was excited to show the kids because they had been waiting for that to open.
Abby was actually wanting to hold it this year, the last few years we have been doing this, they have both been too scared to actually put it on their finger....
this was our first attempt at trying to let it go...

I guess it just was not ready to fly away quite yet....we put him in a butterfly holder and waited until the next day to try it again...


looks like it was ready to fly that time!!!!
We still have one more waiting to turn into a butterfly.....I have to thank my mom and dad for doing this with us as kids. I guess I just assumed all kids did stuff like this but after talking with some friends, their kids have never seen one or done this!!!  We love it and probably never would have done this if it wasn't for my mom and dad:)  Thank you!!!

As far as our weekend, its been pretty low key. Tim has been working and so I have been cleaning and all of that fun stuff. Kids have been wonderful keeping themselves busy!!! We did make a run to walmart because Abby has been wanting a Smurf, she finally saved up some money to buy one (loosing a couple teeth in the last couple weeks helped with that) .  Here is what the kids are doing as I type this!! Watching Smurfs on the IPad !!!  love it!!!!


Today our plan is to watch the Brewers and the Packers, well at least a little bit of each, not sure the kids will want to watch both of them!! Abby is heading to her friend Brooklyns house for a few hours to play, they have been missing each other since school has started.  She will have a blast and its her first time at Brooklyns house!!!!

and thats...why I love 'em!!!
