waiting

we have been waiting for some things to form at our house. our caterpillars (that lily received as a birthday gift) finally turned into chrysalids and we were able to move them to their net home. lily thought it was pretty stinky after i opened the container the caterpillars came in and fed in and excreted in. now we are anxiously awaiting our butterflies.


we are also waiting for the liquids in the containers pictured below to turn into rock crystals. it is taking A LOT longer than the kit said it would. not sure what we did wrong, but have recently finally started to see some crystals form on our strings.

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
