We had a fun day! We did facepainting and had our Teddy Bear picnic on the porch.
When we went outside, I thought it would be nice to give the butterflies some fresh air and sunshine.
They loved it and were fluttering around. The kids all got a really good look at them and then we went to the backyard to play. When we came in for lunch, I saw that the tin foil cover had blown off the butterfly house I ran over to it and sure enough they were all gone-- except the one that can't fly.

I feel awful, I love watching them fly away too. On the other hand I am not sure I could have kept them alive til next Tuesday, when almost everyone would be here, so it is for the best. At any rate they are gone-- but we will be on the lookout for them flying in the yard!

I set them out by the walk

Everyone got a good look- which was great because the cover blew off while we played and they flew away!

All 10 butterflies have emerged! One has a wing that didn't form properly, we may end up keeping that one for the duration of its life. We will try to release them next Tuesday. I have never kept them for so long so I am not sure if that will work out- but we'll give it a shot though :-)

Lots of block building this morning, along with their favorite dress-ups. The Food Program Lady visited- Debbie- so you may hear her name mentioned.

We read The Fox and the Six Little Chicks, it was a bit suspenseful but had lots of rhyming and a happy ending.
