All week, the kids were talking about what would be the Easter Hunt this year.  My daughter even stated that it wouldn't be a new idea this year.  She was sure that they had tried all possible hunts.  They would get to do one of them again.  She was hoping for written clues in backward writing.  My son decided that he wanted puzzle clues that would lead them to the treasure.

If you're interested in Lego Mindstorms robots, here's a chance to see a robot competition over the web.

We're expecting arrivals of tadpoles this week.   Turns out, it's a bit of process to get ready for the big day when the tadpoles arrive.  

Our butterfly larvae arrived on Wed.  We were hoping it was the tadpoles, but they were delayed a week.  So time to quickly learn what to do with butterfly larvae.   Fortunately, they came with pretty clear directions.

I've been doing some more reading about raising painted lady butterflies.  It's fun having caterpillars in little containers, but we can't really see what they are up to.  So we decided to create a more natural habitat for some of the caterpillars.

It's wonderful to watch these energetic little creatures.  We've all been fascinated with their activities.

I can't believe how much these little creatures poop! 

Our tadpoles have finally arrived!

We have lots of chrysalis.
