butterflies

Today we let the butterflies go after Sadie got home from school. Her friend Drew came over to watch them fly away. Some of them flew far away and others stayed right in our yard.
Sadie took them into school on Wednesday and was so excited to show them off to her friends. Afterwards they read "The Hungry Little Caterpillar."
We had such a great experience watching them grow from tiny little caterpillars to very large ones then into cacoons and butterflies.

Wishing for warmer weather. It has been so rainy we have not been able to go out and play for almost a week now. The girls are getting so couped up inside.

Leah's birthday is about a week away. I am really hoping for great weather on her birthday and for her party.

Here are some pics when it was nice out last week.

Happy and sad pictures. That is the best way to get good smiling pictures out of them!!!

moms day

Had a great Mother's Day weekend. We went to Eastern Market on Saturday morning. We got out meat, and lots of fruit and veggies. the girls got to pick out candy at the Rocky Peanut Co., they love that place. Afterwards we went down to Campus Marshus and relaxed in the sun. We picked up some Jimmy John sandwiches and ate down by the river. they liked walking around and looking at the giant buildings. Sadie couldnt believe that the Detroit River was a river and that there was another country across the river.
Mother's Day was at our house, everyone came over and we barbequed shish kabobs. The girls had a great time playing with their cousins. then we celebrated Grandpa Bill's 65th birthday!
