Monarch Butterfly Parade
Our Monarch butterfly!
The kids paraded around the ENTIRE playground twice.
On the 2nd loop!
Maddie's Class
This is an annual Kindergarten event at the conclusion of their lesson about Monarch butterflies. All the Kinder kids get "dressed" up in their own wings and headbands..then parade around the BIG playground where all the other kids come out of their classrooms and watch.

Sept 16 - Into France
Back on the CORRECT road again... to Caunes-Minervois...

sun-bather at resort...not a pretty sight ;p
THE lake at Homps
kid emptying out shoe...I know, paparazzo me!
the driver and navigator
We're in France! Slow down next time so I can take better pics of signage!
Sept 16 - Figueres: Dali Museum onto France
I think someone is all "droopy" and museum-ed out for the day.
One of MANY MANY churches we visited!
Happy to be leaving Museum!
Interesting...this was taken through a magnifying glass...
onto the museum
Anson and his after meal expresso.."PINKY OUT!"
Dali was definitely an "artist" but I found it to be a little too artistic for me...not sure I would decorate my home with his stuff...we took lots of pics but some are "too interesting" to post :)
Sept 16 - Leaving Barcelona

Another Butterfly poem...
Butterfly prose
I'm a little white egg on a leaf so green
Then I hatch into a caterpillar fuzzy, long and lean.
I eat a lot of leaves and grow big and fat
Then I spin a blanket around me just like that.
Inside my chrysalis I sleep a deep sleep
When my rest is over from my chrysalis I leap.
I spread out my wings to get ready to fly
Can't catch me now I'm a BUTTERFLY!
**(AND YES, SHE CAN ACT THIS ALL OUT!)**

Adam's 1st day of Pre-school
Follow the leader... "hurry up Boo! we're gonna be late!"
I can't believe both kids are in school now... where did the time go? I thought I would be elated and super excited...which I guess I am, but I am having a lot of mixed emotions. I no longer have "babies" or toddlers, I HAVE KIDS! :) It's been a great roller coaster of fun (most of the time) with many days of us just hanging out, keeping each other company and/or naps. But there have been so many days where I doubted myself and my ability to be a good mommy...
I hope their enthusiasm for school continues for at least the next 15 years! ;P
