The Pirate got a very cool present from his Aunt. He has been bugging me to send away for the larvae...so, we decided to do this as our spring break family thing. So, I sent away for the larvae and they came in a cup. They were small when we opened them up and by the end of the week they were big, fat and gross!!!! They attached themselves to the lid of the cup and then I removed them and hung the coffee filter-like thing to the side of the net. Well, we went to baseball this morning and came home to find a BUTTERFLY! Within 12 minutes of being home, there was another one! The Pirate decided to name them after his friends at school, one is Tia and one is Jacob. We went to Target and picked up some fresh flowers and sprinkled them with sugar water. We placed the flowers in the bottom of the net and they have been feeding. The Pirate can't wait to see the others emerge. Three more to go!
Update: Megan and Caitlin were born today April 27th. We're still waitng for Zach...the fifth and final one!

Too cute! We like that the pirate is "growing" his own butterflies :) Jake Jake thought it was funny that the butterflies had names. Enjoy the metamorposis!
