The Hungry Catapillar

Headstart Graduation
May 16th, 2012
The Hungry Catapillar Play
The last few weeks of preschool, the kids raised catapillars and learned about the different stages before they become butterflies. On the last day of school they took a field trip to the park where they let their pet butterflies go out into the wild. In honor of their project, the teachers thought it would be nice to act out the "Hungry Catapillar" book at their graduation. Evelynne became the lead role as the catapillar who would eat all the food and then magically turn into the beautiful butterfly. Brigston was proudly the 3 purple plums that Evie would eat. Here is some of the photos and a video of the presentation. Some of the classmates didn't end up showing up so some of Brigs and Evie's cousins who came to support and watch, got to be in the actual play as some of the food that was eaten. Really neat and fun for all of us :)
Enjoy!

Oregon Landscape


Here's an idea of what it looks like where we are living. Its dry, arrid, sunny skies are beautiful and bright. Summers are my favorite time of year. We love taking walks out in the area and enjoy all the fun and exciting bugs, snakes, deer, etc. We live about 15 miles away from the nearest town so we have a close connection to nature and the desert enviroment. Our Iowa home is a different kind of beautiful; kind of like a Garden of Eden feel to it with everything green, beautiful, and humid. We also miss the magical lightening bugs. It has such a welcoming and warm attraction to it. Its great when we are able to visit and look forward to it again.
