Bowling, Butterflies, Potty Prep, and Donuts

I found a great coupon for bowling last weekend, so we decided to make it a family event. It was a lot of fun but 1 game is plenty of time for us to be there. Not great pictures, but they had a good time.

don't worry, she had plenty of time to pose for the picture after she threw the ball...and it's still going


Abby feeling quite proud of herself

And Abby got a butterfly garden for Christmas. We have really enjoyed watching baby caterpillars turn into cocoons and now they are starting to hatch into butterflies. It has been a learning and fun experience for all of us.

No pictures as caterpillars...didn't think of it in the week it took to get to this stage.

And one hatched...the darker the cocoon, the closer it is to hatching

our make shift food for them (wadded tissue with sugar water on a paper plate) until we go get flowers for them tomorrow

and the little red you see in the picture above and below...that is meconium...yep

Also, Weston has found an interest in the potty lately. So he got a nice new football potty seat and has used it successfully a few times now. I have not started potty training and not sure when I'll be ready too, but I'm letting him get acquainted with the idea for now. But one night I couldn't get a diaper back on him without him screaming and going crazy so I decided he could try out his new undies that he got for Christmas. He loved them! So here he is showing them off.

Many Saturdays since we have lived here, we have enjoyed Saturday mornings at the donut place. As you can see, we go pretty casual. But yesterday, the kids were awesome...so we took pictures of them eating and watching the donuts be made.
