We were over at our grandparents house the other day and the kids wanted to collect some caterpillars. So grandma being the outdoorsy one she is runs inside for a butterfly box:) We collected 4 caterpillars and some passion fruit plants for them to eat. The kids didn't understand the fact that it takes a few days to weeks for the transformation to occur. They were pleasantly surprised because on the second day one caterpillar turned into a crysalis! Not sure I spelled that correctly but you get the idea! We now have 2 in that stage and are waiting for the other 2 to turn:) Hopefully we will see the Gulf Fritillaries soon:)

Tomorrow is the first day of school for my son. He is so excited! My daughter starts in a few weeks and she is a little sad that she has to wait! I can't wait to see him tomorrow:) Everything is laid out for a smooth morning...hopefully:)
