"If you spend the majority of your days in the company of babies, toddlers, tweens or teens, then your happiness will be directly proportional to your ability to laugh often and enjoy the chaos. The child-rearing years, in particular, are meant to be hectic, playful, and fun!"

Releasing the butterfly


Every year we get butterflies from ECFE. They usually come already in their chrysalis's, but this year some were still caterpillars. Preston selected a chrysalis and Braeden and Lake caterpillars. It was fun to watch the caterpillars become chrysalis's. Then, the chrysalis turns black and 24 hours later the Monarch appears. Pudge's was ready first. Once it becomes a butterfly he won't touch it, so it's always my job to release it. Of course, they always name them, too. Pudge's is Obi Wan. Braeden's was next. He released his, himself. He named his Dave Ramsey (he must listening to that show way too much). Laken's never emerged. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact she carried it around everywhere with her.
