After lunch we went outside to visit the butterflies! The last several days a few plants in our yard have been attracting 40 or 50 painted lady butterflies. I think they cheered up Riley since she was sick. I had never seen anything like it in our yard. It was fun to have them fly all around us! For some reason I didn't get a picture of August. I think it was because I was with Nora in the yard and he was in the driveway next to one of the flowers, tormenting the butterflies. Nora tried to eat a pine cone, a clod of dirt, and some chalk. She liked crawling around though. She sure is getting big!
It ended up kind of a theme day. Riley was playing with a butterfly cookie cutter in her play doh stuff and one of the books we read was the cat in the hat teaching about insects. It had a lot of good information in it while being fun. She went to school today but was a bit grumpy about it. Hopefully she gets some good sleep tonight.
