Their House

Hanging from the side: waiting to "hatch"; the lighter one is the now empty one

Okay well it worked..we now have a pet butterfly! :-) TJ got the bugville butterfly kit for Easter from his Grammy....we sent away for the catapillers and after TJ manhandled them and let them crawl all over him and drive his John Deere trucks we got two that turned into larve and this morning I almost had a heart attack when I looked into thier house and one was fluttering around! Wasn't expecting movement! There is one more still hanging on the side (as instructed) and we will see what happens..I wanted to wait until they were both butterflies then release them together but TJ had other ideas and when I was putting Jack in the car I hear "mom, the butterfly got out" yep unzipped his little house and flew right on out..so now somewhere in the house we have a butterfly! We'll see if we can find it - hopefully - and release into the "wild"..for now we sit and wait and watch to see the other one come to life - we will be ordering more catapillers in the near future...
