The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Evening Entertainment
This evening we came home after running to various events all day. How nice it was to get home and just walk around in the yard and sit in the swing, all evening activites we enjoy frequently.
We also took a ride on my mom's golf cart and gathered some sweet gum leaves for the caterpillars. I cleaned out their box and freshened it up with the new leaves. Then we sat the box on the counter and sat down for supper.
After supper I took a look in the box and the caterpillars were happily munching away. They had left the cherry tree leaves in favor of the sweet gum leaves and there were evident marks on the leaves where they'd been chomping.
I showed this to the kids and we sat there staring at the caterpillars who were rather quickly munching away on the leaves and it was fascinating.
"Look at that big hole he ate in the leaf!"
"Neat, I can see his teeth biting it!"
"gumma lmat lmmlaloo!"
We are very easily entertained.

Hey! We're raising caterpillars, too! I'm blogging about it, in fact. I love spring!
Many blessings!

The book is cute, but nothing beats your very own "Very Hungry Caterpillar!" I never cease to be amazed by how fascinated my children are - even my 16yo dd - woth God's natural world.
