G was fast. G got soaked. G won a porcelain doll for E at the church picnic this weekend. Go, Daddy, Go! The goal of the race was to fill a bucket with water. The challenge was that the dads had to fill it from a cup that was attached to the top of a […]

Wow, it’s been a while! A friend of mine has started blogging and that motivated me to get back to my blog. Except she was an English major and can write eloquent entries. I wasn’t and I can’t. Oh well. To all those who were diligently following the life cycle of our caterpillars, all but […]

Our last cat turned into a chrysalis this morning while we were at church. This one turned out to be a bright green chrysalis. That gives us 2 bright green ones and 8 brown ones. I should have written an update to yesterday’s post. We were able to watch as our last cat attached himself […]

I ran some errands yesterday morning and cat #6 was a chrysalis when we got back. At 8pm last night we though #7, #8, and #9 were close so we let Emily stay up for a little longer. Unfortunately, the cats did not understand our schedule and we sent E to bed at 10pm without […]

As we were cleaning the kitchen last night, George said “If I happened to see another caterpillar that had escaped, would you want me to tell you?” Ha, ha, funny guy! No way was I wasn’t going to fall for that! Then he says “Well, what about this one that is crawling on our paper […]

I just finished watching cat #4 turn into a chrysalis. It was truly amazing. Not what I was expecting at all! I will write more about it after I’ve had a few hours of sleep. Good night!

Arghh, just as I suspected! Two of the cats formed their chrysalis last night as we slept. I REALLY want to see one change this year! But the advantage to having 11 cats is that there are 9 more to go. Two more are getting pretty close, so hopefully we will get to watch them […]

So the adventure continues. Tonight George walks from the bedroom hallway into the kitchen and says “Hypothetically speaking, let’s say I knew where the missing caterpillar had made his chrysalis, would you want me to tell you?” Silly boy! I knew he was just trying to pull my leg and make me think he actually […]

Well, we seached the entire kitchen area last night and never found caterpillar #11. I hope she’s safely made her chrysalis by now. We moved the other 10 cats into the butterfly house. There will be no escaping from this container, but it’s a little harder to see them in there. Before we moved them, […]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10… 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10… No matter how many times I counted, I could only find 10 caterpillars in our caterpillar box today. They are pretty sneaky and sometimes you can be staring right at one but not see him. […]
