Chris and Lesley and the Fogg's gave Tyler caterpillars for his birthday.
Yes, like real live caterpillars.
We had so much fun watching them grow, make cocoons, and turn into butterflies.
When it came time to let the butterflies go, we decided to make a night of it.
We started out by making scones. My boys love scones (or "stones" as they call them).
I realize this has nothing to do with butterflies, but they looked cute, so I took their picture.
The butterflies
Tyler was so excited to finally hold the butterflies.
That is two butterflies on Tyler's sleeve...
they were very much in love.
I tried to get Tyler to leave them alone, but he obviously didn't mind interrupting
(why am I not surprised...?)
Our next door neighbor was out front when we let them go.
You can't hold butterflies in front of a five-year-old little girl, and not invite her to participate.
This poor butterfly was gimpy.
Oh and just in case you were wondering what Tyler was wearing....
it is a Bumblebee costume. Yes, he is awesome.
When Jessi let her butterflies go, they made butterfly cookies, so I decided to copy her.
Luckily my neighbor had a variety of butterfly cookie cutters...
Tim and Tyler really enjoyed frosting their cookies (can you tell?) while Jaxen just preferred to eat his frosting.
Tim and I are really fantastic cookie decorators, don't you think?
Butterfly Night = Success
