Insects in the Mail!

Imagine the excitement that occurred today when #1, not only did the FedEx truck stop at our house, but #2, it delivered a box with the above label on it!

We've decided to try our hand at hatching some butterflies....it should be a fun experiment for the kids. We'll be sure to add some pictures over the next few weeks. We're starting out with five little caterpillars.

Our only worry (other than Miriam getting her hands on this and introducing herself to these poor fellas) is that they may "hatch" while we are gone for a couple of days over spring break. But, I'm sure we could bring them over to Grandma K's for safe keeping......

We have done this with our kids. We had to be late for school one day because the chrysalis was trembling and ready to hatch. We just couldn't tear ourselves away! Have fun~
