Lots of exciting news!!

We have lots of exciting things happening in our house the past couple of days!!

First of all, and most important..... Tristan can tie his shoes on his own now!!! I needed to teach him for school and to our surprise, he learned in just one day. Amazing! He is so smart :)

We are extremely proud of him!

Second of all....... we have our fish tank all set up and finished. It looks so pretty. The boys are loving that its not in the kitchen behind the gate so they can go look at the fish any time they want and enjoy them all swimming around. It's really fun! I find myself going over to look at it all the time. And we have our kitchen counter back now too, woo hoo :) John and I are both very exciting about that!
Here are a couple pics of it all set up and beautiful...






Our next order of business is the catepillar/cocoons/butterflies ;) lol. Two of our butterflies emerged today!! The first one did it without me even noticing. But I got the second one on video and the boys sat and watch her come out too. It was so neat!! Here are a couple pics of them.
The first pic is before she rolled her wings out fully and the second one is after she climbed up near the top of the net cage. The inside of the wings are an amazing bright orange and black, they are so pretty and the boys are ecstatic they are coming out now.



And last but not least...........

2 MORE DAYS TIL GRANDMA IS HERE :)
