One day last spring, as Joshua and I were leaving my parents house, there were 2 butterflies "dancing" while fluttering around the driveway. It was so cool to see them fly in sync with each other. I don't know if they were mating or fighting, but it was beautiful! Witnessing this exchange got Joshua hooked on butterflies and I made a mental note to purchase a butterfly habitat and send away for larvae in the near future. One year later, we are the proud owners of 5 larvae! They arrived on Saturday in their clear plastic cup with all the food they need. The caterpillars (or callerpitters as Joshua calls them) have already grown so much! They will remain in their larvae stage for 7 - 10 days and then transform into cocoons.
Stay tuned for more posts!

This is an awesome first pet idea!!!
That is so cool!! Hey, you need to add the thing so your friends can "follow" your blog. That way I will at least know when you add a new one and I can check it out. I am still a newbie to this whole blog thing but since the church is doing a new blog thing I have learned about this whole following thing =) Love you girl!
alright, nevermind! I think I got it now. I am totally stoked about the butterflies though! =)
How cool is that!?!? Can't wait to see what happens.
