Butterflies!

This summer we have many fun activities planned.  Each week will be dedicated to one "theme".  At the beginning of the week we go to the library and search for books that go along with what we are learning about for the week.  At the end of the week we have a trip planned to add to the kids' experiences.  

This week was all about butterflies! 

We made crafts... 

And on Friday we visited the Butterfly House in Whitehouse. 

Sophie checking out the butterfly from a distance!

Bees!

Checking out the cocoons!

Trying to match the butterfly to the pictures.

Keaton would scream and run away from the "fly" each time one would come near.
It looked kinda like this!

Resting...for a minute...

THEY LOVE BUTTERFLIES!!

    Until next week...

Life flies by...when you are raising toddlers!

   Over the past year and a half, I have learned there are good days. Days we are able to sing, play and dance.

And then there are days that are just NOT...

Like the day Keaton spilled an entire bottle of laundry detergent on the floor...

or the many tears from bumps, bangs, and other miscellaneous "ouchies". 


and then there are just overall grumpy, no good, very bad days!

(I'm sure you have noted that many of those pictures are of my KEATON MONSTER.  I must admit that he tends to contribute to many of the NOT days, but SOPHIE is not innocent. When she contributes she does it right...

Like the time she gave herself a permanent maker uni-brow at 8:30 at night... 

OR when she cut her bangs like this, one week before Christmas Day.  

Since we have been away we have had many good, bad, beautifully, ugly days. These days have contributed to our journey of where we are today! We are still here...still growing...still learning each day!  Until our next adventure!
