We have our 1st Cacoon!

The caterpillars are moving their way to the top of their jars. We noticed this afternoon that we have our 1st Cocoon! At the end of the day 3 of the caterpillars were in cocoons. It's so fascinating to watch them change.

Caterpillars on the 6th day!

There are 5 caterpillars in each jar. They just keep getting bigger and kind of freaky looking! The paper said when they hang upside down in a "J" shape they are getting ready to turn into a cacoon. We are just suppose to leave them alone and they will do their thing.

Some of the gray caterpillars are still making their way to the top of the jar.

The 3rd day we had our Caterpillars

The caterpillars didn't look very different on the 2nd day so I didn't take a picture, but this morning when I woke up they were SO much bigger!

We don't have to feed the caterpillars, they just eat the stuff off the bottom of the jar!

Our CATERPILLARS are here!

We got a butterfly kit at Costco and we sent out for our caterpillars to come and they have arrived! The kids are so excited to watch them change into butterflies...actually I don't know who is more excited the kids or me! We want to take a picture every day so we can see how they change.

Happy Birthday Blake!

Happy 3rd Birthday Blake! For the past few weeks whenever we asked Blake what he wanted for his birthday he would say, "A Chuck-E-Cheese ball." So, Blake got his wish and we went to Chuck-E-Cheese the night before his birthday.

We went Camping on Blake's Birthday!

We were going to go camping and rent an RV on the 28th. The guy didn't have it ready to go and it was SO Dirty. So we went to Chuck-E-Cheese and came home to sleep in our beds. On the 29th Blake got to open some presents.
Even though things didn't fall into place like we had hoped, it worked out even better. EJ's brother let us use his cabin to go camping which was GREAT for the kids. We went on a hike, played catch, took a nap in the hammock, had s'mores and watched movies. It was nice to get away!

EJ made HUGE pancakes for Breakfast! Then we had spaghetti for lunch and Blake's favorite STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE!

Our friends the Hamptons came with us! Blake loves their little girl! We had a great time!

Blake is lucky that his birthday will always be on a 3-day weekend for Memorial Day! Happy Birthday Blake! We love you!
