Mother's Day 2010

Happy late Mother's Day! Here's some pictures I wanted to post of my great Mother's Day.I woke up to these 3 little munchkins!!!

The Friday before Mother's Day, the daycare had a tea party for us mothers. Allie was so proud to have me there. They sang us mothers a song and we had lots of good food to eat.




And then there's my wonderful mother......my best friend. Mom, thank you for everything you do and for being the person you are. I love you!!! And for those of you who don't know my mom very well, this IS her favorite gift.

New Pet

On Easter, my Aunt Tasha brought Allie a rabbit. It has grown a whole lot since then. Allie named him/her Fluffy. I'm pretty sure it's a girl, but I can't look anymore cause Allie keeps asking why I keep looking at Fluffy's pee-pee. To hard to even explain to a 4 year old. Anyway, Fluffy is such a good pet. She gives it a carrot everyday. Easton wanted to take his picture with Fluffy, but he don't play with Fluffy near as much as Allie. Allie gives the rabbit food and water herself everyday. Also, my mom made a huge cage that Allie can actually get in. Thank you Tasha and Daniel for Fluffy!

Making Butterflies

Thanks to Aunt Brenda, who ironically is a kindergarten teacher, the kids have got to watch caterpillars turn into butterflies. I have to admit, it was a neat process for me to see too. She bought the kids 4 caterpillars in a jar with food already in the jar. After about a week or so, the caterpillars will ca coon, which is what this first picture is of. Sorry this picture is kind of gross to look at.

Next, we had to tape the ca coons to the top of the butterfly cage. This was Timmy's job. I couldn't stand to get this close the creatures. Easton and Allie were so into this.

Then we waited....for about a week. The book said about 7 days and Easton and Allie counted down the days. Finally one at a time, there came butterflies. We kept them in the cage with water for a couple of days until Allie held each one and then let them free.

Very neat idea for your kids, especially at this age. Thank you Aunt Brenda!!!
