Our favorite lesson this year was definitely the butterfly lesson!! Since A~'s favorite thing is butterflies she was so excited!!
Once we received our caterpillars in the mail, we watched them for about a week until they climbed to the top and hung down head first. Then one morning we woke up and they had spun a chrysalis!
Once they were completely wrapped up and had settled for a few days, daddy helped us move them into the butterfly habitat so that when they hatched they were ready to fly around!
We waited about a week, and all 5 butterflies hatched within 24 hours! We were all SO excited that we got to see them come out of the chrysalis!
After a few days of watching them and feeding them, we decided it was time to let them go. We talked about how just like the caterpillar was wrapped up in the silk and transformed into something beautiful, when we give our lives to Christ that's exactly what he does to us. He wraps us in his arms and transforms our old ugly hearts into new beautiful hearts!
We had a blast this school year! But we won't be long gone cause we are taking a SHORT break then we will be doing some character building this summer as well as a summer mission project. So keep watch we'll be posting about our summer project soon!!
