My Caterpillar Story

One day I got a caterpillar on a milkweed plant and brought him home. I put him in empty fish tank and gave him a leaf to munch on every once and a while.

I forgot about him for a few days and when I went out to check on him, he was gone! We didn't have a lid on the tank, so I figured he crawled out and probably died somewhere with no leaves to eat. I went to school and my mom found him. Under the chair that the tank was sitting on.

I was so excited to see that when I came home from school! How funny that he attached to the bottom of the chair! I kept saying "No way!"
So, we waited and waited and checked each day. Then soon he was in his cocoon.

We weren't sure how long it'd take to be a butterfly and tried to keep an eye on it. I was worried what we'd do when it did since it wasn't in a cage.
Then my mom checked one morning before school and we found the cocoon empty! We couldn't find the butterfly! He couldn't fly away because he was in our screened in porch. I had to go to school so I had to stop looking.

When my mom came home from work she looked out on the porch and saw a shadow of a butterfly on the wall. She found my butterfly! When I got home from school this is what I found!

I had to try to catch him and set him free outside. It was tough, but I did it!

Then, I set him free outside!
Bye, bye little butterfly!

And, that's the story of my caterpiller. :)

Tuesday's Game

BHS lost to NCHS durning the last 6 SECONDS of the game!

Game

BHS lost tonight, 1-0.  They played Champaign Central who's the top team in the conference.  They beat Normal 1-0.
They scored with 3 min. to go in the game to beat BHS.  Tony says it was a good effort, they were so close!

Busy

Well, we're really busy right now as you can see since it's been a week since I last blogged.

Adam is busy with soccer, and intramural basketball right now.  Soccer two nights/per week.  Basketball in the mornings at 6:15am! two days a week.  Not to mention, homework, mostly math.

Emily is just busy being Emily.  Homework is easy for her, luckily.  She likes her teacher and class.  She rides her bike to school everyday.  There are a group that meets outside on our driveway and ride bikes to school everyday.  She's going to be starting volleyball at the end of the month that will meet once a week.  She's looking forward to that.

Tony is busy with BHS soccer, Fusion soccer, grad class homework, teaching health and PE.  There's a BHS game just on Thursday this week, but a Fusion tournament in Peoria over the weekend.

And, I'm busy with PCSL soccer.  Dealing with coaches and referees.  Mostly refereees right now.  Always finding replacements for those that can't do a particular game.

I'll try to get the kids to blog this week so you can here it straight from them. :)

A win!

BHS's won tonight.  They beat Eisenhower, 8-0.  Good to get a win.
