Keilana had a pretty good morning. Her preschool class spent the entire three hours of school at McDermont, playing arcade games, going crazy in the bounce houses, and yes, even playing lazer tag. Dylan and I got the stroller out to head to Washington to pick her up and as we were crossing Sweetbriar, Dylan squealed, "Catepillar!" We met Keilana's class along the way (she's the one kinda by herself smack dab in the middle):
We talked about where caterpillar's live, so Keilana freed Aquamarine (for thus she named the creature) while I was checking the mail. 
Sometimes she's too rough with bugs, so I've been teaching her the proper way to pick them up. She thought it was pretty cool that the caterpillar would crawl up on her hand all by itself. Usually she's playing with potato bugs, so this was a nice change. :)
She let Aquamarine crawl around on her for quite some time. It was perhaps the biggest caterpillar I've ever seen. She told me that he needed a nap, so we left him in the grass and went inside to get a drink.
According to Doug's intensive 10 minutes of research on Google, we're pretty sure this is what Aquamarine will look like after that whole cocoon phase:

Second of all. That's not a butterfly that's a moth! Kill the caterpillar!
looks like the one on a bug's life!
"...and from up here, you all look like tiny ants!"
Heimlich! I love him!!
thats one monster caterpillar! Kieona found one of those black and orange woolly ones the other day, and was letting it walk all over her, however she must of been allergic to it because she broke out in a rash! :)
