Butterflies, Social butterflies!




Thursday morning I was getting the girls ready for their last day of Fairy school. Ashley Noticed that our butterflies had hatched!! So cool, in the morning there were 4 hatched, we looked took above pictures. The papers that came with the butterflies said to soak a towel in sugar water and put flowers. I soaked a towel and we put A flower. We don't have a lot of flowers the girls pick them I can't grow anything.
So that evening after dinner we looked at the butterflies and there was now 6! But 4 were dead!!! Yikes again can't grow anything thank GOD the kids and dog have made it this long. So 4 out of the six butterflies are dying that is right they are not completely dead. So we release the two alive butterflies and take the 4 dead ones down to show Ella. What little girl does not like to see dead butterflies or should I say dying butterflies. Emily was so happy to get to go out and see someone. Emily is my social butterfly!! She loves to go places and do things. I know I have done this to her. But with two little sisters and daddy not working two days in the middle of the week there was no place to go.
Later that night I told Michael how 4 out of the 6 butterflies had died. I thought it was from the sugar water towel and the butterflies had gotten their wings wet, because they were all stuck to the towel. Michael had another idea. We have had a million flies in the house the girls are always opening doors, letting in said flies in. So we have this bug thing that just kills them from an oder it omits. Michael thinks it was also killing the butterflies. RIP butterflies, RIP. I hope we did not kill you with the fly killer because the flies are still here. Michael killed 3 flies in our room before he could go to bed last night. Again wish I had the video camera. But, I know Michael would not be happy if I posted a video of him killing flies in his boxers with a t-shirt. I am enjoying posting the days events the day after. The girls are watching cartoons and I get to remember the good stuff. Let me tell you Fridays post is already off to a rocky start!! Pray for me.
