July - Ladybugs and Butterflies

If you recall, the Easter Bunny left the girls a lady bug house and a butterfly house. We've really enjoyed watching the little critters. We went from having a fish to having a house full of little things to take care of within a matter of weeks. We've all loved it. Here's Emma releasing her ladybugs onto our lemon tree. They like being released when it's cool outside, hence, once again, pajamas.



The butterflies were really fun, too. And super easy. The hardest part was remembering to feed them once they hatched, and keeping the kids and puppy from smashing them. :)


How often does a kid get to hold a butterfly?


Pure happiness. (Note Ash's stuffed animals. She is almost always toting at least one around.)


I thought this was a fun picture. It didn't stay long, and girls kept wondering where they would all go.
