Just when he thought the world was over...

For Abby's birthday, she received a Butterfly Garden from Jaimie. It started out as two gross jars of caterpillars.

And, today, it has become something wonderful, or as the quote goes...

"Just when the caterpillar thought his world was over,

he turned into a butterfly."

They are so cool! We started out with 10 caterpillars and so far have 7 butterflies (6 "born" today so far.) I could watch them for hours. The pictures are kind of weird because I have to shoot through the white netting.

We've been naming them. Let's see if I can remember all the names... Princess, Louise (my favorite), Alex, Edward, Katy, Ella, and Sam. We have Ray (after the firefly in Princess and the Frog) reserved for the next one and need to come up with 2 more. It's been fun. We'll keep them in the net for a few days and then release them. What a cool miracle to witness.
