With the mild weather we have been having, my flowers are blooming strong and we have a gazillion butterflies in the garden at any one time!Mary Beth and I love to sit out and watch them. If we are quiet and still, we can hear their wings flapping. Of course, my spunky 3 year old doesn't stay quiet and still for long, so she runs to the plants and does her best to catch butterflies!
She has become quite successful in her butterfly catching abilities! She grabs them, we count to three, and she lets them go. A little while ago, I found her watching TV with one in her hand. Maybe we need to go over the whole catch and release philosophy again! The butterflies are let go and seem no worse for the wear.
I love the smile on her face during her "hunt" and how she loves the "BEEEEEEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES!"

Jenna has become quite adept at killing flies with dishtowels. Somehow, it isn't quite as picturesque...
