Butterfly Friends Again...

We've been watching caterpillars and butterflies for the past couple of weeks.  It's been a little crazy this year since we've had so many.  We have given a few away, but last week when I got more milkweed, I brought home more caterpillars attached to the plant.  I told the kids today that I'm about ready to wind the butterfly factory down for the year to which they protested.  They are enjoying watching them grow, and we continue to learn more about this amazing process.  

I'm excited about planting milkweed in our backyard this fall so we can hopefully watch more of this process outside instead of on our dining room table.  :) 

 Scott named his Catergator. 

 Natalie named hers Glitter. 

 Kate named hers Donald Duck.  ??!?!

After the first three, we lost track of names!  We have an AWESOME CREATOR!
