Monarch Caterpillars

We have two milkweed bushes on the playground at our school that are totally infested with caterpillars. There are hundreds of them. They are everywhere. They are super cute. I really like to hold them. Weird? Maybe.

They are eating all the leaves off the milkweed plants and then when they get about as big as the ones I'm holding they look for a place to hang upside down, like this
This one is hanging underneath a picnic table. Then they do this crazy, wiggly dance to make their skin come off.

After a few hours of that, they look like this-

These are on one of the playhouses. I told you, they are EVERYWHERE.

I read that they stay inside their chrysalis for two weeks and then....

We'll have a butterfly invasion.

Things I Like

Little boys that ASK to do homework.

Maggie falling asleep at dinner. After a basketball game and two birthday parties on Saturday she was pretty tired and SO cute.

Homemade Banana Bread. Yum.

Big cheesy smiles.

Sweet, loyal dog.

Coming home from the grocery store to a child who has green hair. He jumped out and surprised me when I walked in. He thought it was the funniest thing ever because I was VERY surprised. Oh, and that is pizza sauce on his forehead. All this happened while Jody was in charge.

I love seeing what Henry takes pictures of when he uses the camera. He had a turn on Saturday and he took about 20 pictures of this fan. Very artsy.

Sleepy Kitty Cat. I also like that Henry took this picture himself.

Finding baby gecko's in my house. Gross? No way! They are good luck, and they are super cute.

We do alot of this

This video was made one Saturday morning when Jody was at work and we were waiting for him to get home . This running around in circles thing happens alot. Henry and Maggie love to make videos of themselves and then immediately watch them over and over. They laugh and laugh at themselves. They think they are just the funniest two people ever!
