So far behind....

I am so far behind on posting its not even funny....

First off I wanted to share some pictures of the girls project they did this spring. Kambree got a butterfly kit from insectlore for her birthday this year. It came with the butterfly net to hold them in and a coupon to order your butterfly larvae anytime of the year...they came ALIVE in a little cup and yes they were mailed right to us...we got five total. The food they eat was piled at the bottom of the cup they live in..you never open the cup and play with them because it might disturb their eating and growing...after they have grown to a good size after about two weeks, they crawl to the top of the cup where they attach themselves to a thin piece of paper, hang upside down and change from caterpillar to chrysalis...once ALL of them have done this, you open the lid, take the paper off and pin it to the inside of the butterfly net...wait two weeks and waaalaaah! Butterfly's emerge from their chrysalis!! This was a very rewarding project for the girls and us too...we let them go and some of them crawled up and down our arms before lift off...If anyone ever wants a good science project to do as a family, I highly recommend this!
