Becoming Butterflies

If you saw our blog, "C is for Caterpillar," you saw that the kids were excited to watch the metamorphosis process! Well, we have butterflies!!! Here are the pictures!!

It did not take long for those little eaters to get fat!

The kids were SO excited because it said in the information sheet that there are 5 caterpillars and they guarantee that 3 of the 5 will survive. We got SIX caterpillars and all 6 survived!

"Look MOM! We have a butterfly!!!"
