the birds and the bees...and the butterflies

four of our butterflies came out of their cocoons while we were away on vacation. Here's a photo of 2 of them.
well, the kids had their fist sex ed. class today. in our science book we learned about how butterflies mate. A few hours later, we got to witness it first-hand! Chloe is ecstatic! She can't wait for them to lay their eggs, so we can have more caterpillars, and then more butterflies. She's getting a little annoyed, though because they've been together for a good hour, now. She told me, "i think they're stuck." :)
