Easter 2012

The kids had a great Easter. We were out in the yard (in pajamas) at 7:30AM looking for Easter Eggs. Annalise is a candy-head and wants to immediately open the eggs and eat their contents.

rats and butterflies

Ava recently raised 5 Painted Lady caterpillars to butterflies. All 5 that were shipped as tiny caterpillars lived to be beautiful butterflies.

Here she is releasing one of them on a nice day

Hard to spot, but it’s on a flower down there.

We’ve also been having fun taking the rats (Ratsie and Skidders) out on sunny days. They love playing out in the bushes of the front yard.
