We have so much going on!!

Surprising, huh?

It's springtime, so that means new life. And boy, do we have plenty of that!! Here are a few of the projects we're working on right now:

It all started with the caterpillars we ordered for the boys' butterfly treehouses. I ordered 3 sets but the company messed up and only sent one. So, we have one set right now. And boy, do they grow quickly!!! Here's a few pics of the progress they've made so far. The last one is from today and they're forming their chrysalids now. We should have butterflies in a couple of weeks!!

Then, last night, our kitty brought us a surprise -- a kitten!! And then three more! We didn't even know she was expecting, much less had delivered! We've only had her a short time and just thought she was fat and healthy. Little did we know! So, now we have 4 kittens who appear to be around 3 days old. There are 2 black kittens and 2 white kittens and they are so sweet! They're currently residing in Michael's closet, too. LOL They spent a short while in our closet (that's the pic on the purple lid) but that was too dangerous for them since two of them fell off the container mama kitty had put them on. By the way, we think we've decided on a name for her now -- Midnight Mama!! We were already thinking about Midnight because she is black but I just wasn't sure about it. Well, now she's a mama and it was almost the middle of the night when she brought us her kitties, so I think she'll be Midnight Mama from now on!

And, last but certainly not least, is the flowers we are growing. Anthony and I have been working in our flower bed getting it ready to plant. We don't have anything planted yet but I'm hoping to get our seeds out tomorrow. The boys also got Egg Plants from Gigi for Easter and we've finally cracked them open and watered them. We should have seedlings in about a week. We'll monitor their progress, too.

Look at that sweet, dirty face. He loves to dig and play in the dirt but discovered that it doesn't taste too good.

Anthony LOVES to be outside and last week, he played on the slip 'n slide with his brothers. We undressed him and let him run around naked afterward. What a sweet little naked boy! Don't you love his new excited face! It's so cute I had to share it at the beginning, too.

Here's our own little Vulcan!
