Emotional Wreck Week

Emotional Wreck Week

For whatever reason, what we thought was going to be, isn’t.

Our Butterflies: From Caterpillar to a Painted Lady

The Princesses received a Butterfly Garden for Christmas.   It took us until March to send off for the caterpillars.   They came in regular mail.  Upside down.  But, the caterpillars all survived.  A few days later, they crawled into the top of the cup and formed chrysalids.        We then had to take the paper […]
