insects in the mail - Part #2

The caterpillars got very big very fast!

insects in the mail

I ordered something from Insect Lore.

Tiny caterpillars!

They arrived in the mail a week ago.

The boys will literally watch the caterpillars' transition

as they mature, change into chrysalides,

and finally emerge as butterflies!  

The caterpillars are eating a lot and are growing very fast.

The boys are excited as they watch them each day.

I’ll keep you updated.

I have been busy as a little bee. We started school last week and it has left me little energy in the evenings to write. Yes, I homeschool my youngest two and the days are filled with reading, exploring, researching, creating, writing, drawing, hiking, swimming, singing, experimenting, hypothesizing and thinking. And then comes September when school starts and it is all the same…just in a bit more organized fashion with a lesson plan to boot! : )

With a lot of prayer, strong coffee and good sleep we’ve been off to a great start. I am blessed with eager learners and wonderful teachers in my life!
