My mother bought the kids the neatest thing!  Caterpillars!  We got to see them crawl around for a while, then crawl to the top of their container- and form chrysalis.... then Painted Lady Butterflies emerged!  It took about 2 weeks for the transformation.  Jameson and Caroline LOVED this...
 


After watching them for a couple of days- the kids decided to let them free... it was amazing- as soon as they found the open door they flew quickly- most of them went strait up and above our 2 story house.
