growing wings to fly

my sweet cousin is a 2nd grade teacher.

this year her class studied caterpillars/butterflies. 

and because she's adorable, 

she brought my girlies a cup of caterpillars to watch.

for the past couple of weeks 

chloe & livy have loved observing

the micro, baby catepillars

grow & grow, 

then make their "coo-coons" 

{as livy calls them}

and finally develop into beautiful butterflies!

it's been a delight! 

*and today we let five little butterflies 

out to make their way in this world! 

this particular butterfly,

"i assume, it was going to bloomingdales 

to buy a hat that will turn out to be a mistake-

as almost all hats are...." 

*name that movie*
