Butterfly Festival at Powell Gardens

Very cool sculptures all over the place

Pictures barely do them justice...

One best buddy, Bella and one picture ruining brother

Love this fountain!

See my little caterpillar? You might be a butterfly one day, little one!

Face Painting, too?

Ever seen a "newborn" Monarch butterfly? We did.

Pictured here emerging from the cocoon...wow...you had to be there to see this...

I caught a big fish, Mom!

Perhaps beginner's luck, or perhaps it was the hat, but "I caught a big fish, Mom!"

First Day of School

We are well into our second week of school! Life is crazy but stable at the same time. I LOVE my new classroom, my new students, but most of all, I love being in the same school as Oliver and Sadie! We are all BENGALS with BENGAL Pride!

The kids almost always walk with their friends and stop by to see me in the morning at my classroom. They have that rosy glow of clean faces and new clothes in the morning and the look of exhaustion and not so clean faces in the afternoon.
