Johnny Appleseed Day

Today was Johnny Appleseed Day at Autumn's school. I was given the job of photographer. FUN! Here is a pic of the class this morning before they got started on all of the apple activities.

Her Favorite Outdoor Activity



She loves to push her babies around in the stroller.

Don't mind her mismatched clothes.



Cheer!

ITS TIME FOR TIGER JAM

LETS PUMP IT UP

CLAP YOUR HANDS AND

CHEER FOR US

GOOOO TIGERS


LETS GO TIGERS!

Autumn started cheer today. She loved it, and kept up pretty well. We are excited to see how she does next week!

Is it tomorrow yet?

I keep getting behind on this thing. I should wait until Carleigh is a little older to commit, it sure is hard to edit and load the pictures these days. But, here we are. Back to the butterfly pictures. Grammy and Papa got Autumn a Butterfly Garden. It was an amazing thing to experience. A net enclosure, and two cans of "callerpittars" came to the house in a box. We pulled them out and there were five teeny tiny little ones in each can. First, you just watch them grow and grow, then they make their way to the top of the cans and cocoon themselves in. Once they are Chrysalids, you move them into the net enclosure and wait.. We waited, and waited. It took forever, but one by one they all hatched in a day! Autumn was beyond excited. She sat by the enclosure and watched, and waited, and waited. She never saw one actually "hatch", but we did feed them with paper towels soaked in sugar water. After 3 days we had to let them go, as we were headed to Big Bear for a four day weekend. Watch the wonderous moment unfold:

I don't think the butterflies land on just anyone. I think they were making up for our trip to the Wild Animal Park's butterfly exhibit, when not one landed on her because she was "Really yucky". Poor thing had a complex. Not anymore.

Thanks Grammy and Papa.
