We worked on the butterfly wings for the sock caterpillars the children made. We went out before breakfast and then later in the morning where they used the sprinkler. The highlight was that Brian caught another frog in our pool and it got to swim in our water table. 
Brian was going to return it to the swamp nearby but somehow it escaped him.

AJ painting her butterfly wings with watercolors and marker

Clover's watercolor wings came out too light, so we decided to try markers and then she will brush over it with water

Meanwhile, on the porch- Joey Ivy and Brendan

Clover brushes on the water

Charli and Brendan joined in

Taaa daaa Clover's butterfly wings

In the hammock: Clover, AJ, Joey and Ivy

Clover filling the water-world toy

Brendan spreading the sand around

You can barely see it, but the frog is between the 2 branches on the left

The kids are waiting for the frog to be caught- Brian had got it out of the pool but it escaped

It was finally caught in a shoe box

Toady the Frog  (when Kyle was little we found a toad and named him Froggy)

Let's see if it'll swim in the water table

Joey wanted to touch it

Clover preferred to watch it

I caught the frog in the butterfly net and Brian transported it in a bucket to the swamp, but it escaped before they got there

Sprinkler! Ivy and Brendan

AJ and Brendan

Clover and Brian

This is as wet as Charli wants to get, she stays at the water table

Brendan, Clover ~and Ivy wanted to get out of there!

But once Ivy was out, she went right back in :-)

Joey watched "I don't feel like getting wet"

Clover tries to sit on a spray of water

Charli is happier with the sand

Clover, Brian and Brendan

The kids can point the spray at each other

Charli sweeps the sand off the table with the green dustpan brush
