What the girls are doing





For Christmas Matt and I decided to get the girls something that would enlighten their minds. So we decided to get them catapillars and ladybugs. The girls were able to learn the stages of what the insects were going through. Once the catapillars turned into butterflies Ryan had to feed them and take care of them. It was very exciting to see them one night in a cacoon and then to butterflies. Same with the ladybugs. The girls checked on them everyday. It was very fun. I even learned alot. Well, it has been awhile since they have become butterflies and ladybugs and we started with seven and are at three. I actually don't think the last three will be with us much longer. when the first few butterflies died it really made Ryan very upset. Matt told her to flush it down the toliet to "butterfly heaven." Ryan asked Matt if our "peepee" and "pooh pooh" are in butterfly heaven. She didn't like the idea but eventually she flushed it down the toliet and that really upset her. She started to cry really hard. She went up to her bedroom and told me that she just wants to be alone. It was sad to see her like that but cute at the same time. She came down happy and told me she said a pray to heavenly father and that the butterfly is flying around with prophet hinckley. Kacie really could careless. She was in the backround dancing through the whole episode. Just happy to be there. The girls have done good with their insects but we are still not ready for a dog. I don't think we will be ready for a long time.

I didn't realize that the public sewer was "butterfly heaven"!!! I love it. Can you let them go when they become butterflies, or will they not survive?
