Paper Mache Elephant

This is one of my pieces of art I finished not too long ago for my friend's birthday!

So last night night I got back home after my stay in Kansas where there was beautiful weather compared to Illinois, except for a little wind close to the end of my stay. :-) Anyway, most the snow had melted when I got back home, so I was really happy about that because I'm getting really tired of winter. Anyway, I found this when I woke up this morning!

More snow! Thank goodness its already melting! :-)

THE NOT SO FORTUNATE HAWK

You want to hear something funny? Well, not too long ago both of our cats, Romeo and Juliet, were sitting next to the glass door. I was sitting in a chair reading my science book when,thunk!, something hit the glass door. Both of the cats were freaking out at this point. So I looked out the window to see what it was and all I saw were some feathers. So at this point I figured that it was a big bird, because of the feathers and how loud the thunk was. I was in my mom and dads room a little later that day, and I looked out the window and saw a hawk flying low to the ground. I thought about it for awhile, and I think the hawk tried to kill one of our cats, and while trying to get some kitty breakfast, it hit the glass window! :)

Project Butterfly, Stage 2.1 "Hatching"

Some butterflies have hatched but one is still late ' so it will stay for 2 more days.

Project Butterfly: Stage 2, the Cacoon Stage

This is the larva when it is going in to the cacoon stage. One is going to be a day late.

Project Butterfly: Stage 1, The Larval Stage

On my birthday, from my grandma and grandpa, I got a butterfly growing kit to hatch butterfly larvae. The butterfly home came in the box with the instructions and a little dropper to feed them. The caterpillars weren't in the box. They had to be sent in the mail. I kept waiting and waiting. It took about three weeks before they came. One day I caught a caterpillar and gave it to Justis, and that reminded me to check the mail to see if my butterflies had come. I opened the mailbox and there was a little box that said, "Open Immediately: Butterflies Inside." I hurried and opened the box and there was a container with five tiny larvae and the food they needed to eat to grow. Each larvae was so little, Mom and I were surprised. We read the instructions and put them on the shelf and watch them grow.
