Bon Bon and Grandpa gave Lucy a butterfly house for Easter and we have been waiting for our caterpillars to arrive. Well, they did today to much fanfare. Actually, we got them in the mail and as soon as Lucy saw the box, she shook it. Needless to say, that isn't what you are suppose to do to your new pets, but the excitement just took over. They were fine and they are now living in her butterfly house. She went out tonight and picked all sorts of leaves for them and was so excited to watch them move about. She also counted them about a zillion times. For the record, there are 5.
Unfortunately, the caterpillars did not come with instructions. Let's just hope that we can keep them alive until the turn into butterflies. I might be sending Ian out into the backyard with a net to capture some for a switcheroo.
