Watching Butterflies

It is so much fun to watch life happen though the eyes of children. The other day, the girls and I discovered two balck swallowtail caterpillars munching on our parsely. I tried to explain that these fat green things were going to become butterflies, but I could see in Ellie's dazed blue eyes that she wasn't getting it. So, into our house we welcomed our new pets: Maggie and Green. I am not sure why Ellie named one after her sister--they don't look anything alike:)
