Bye Bye Butterfly

Sad news to report,As of Day 2, The Chrysalis was no more. No sooner than I posted the last blog, My darling hubby said it looked like it was dripping. And well, long story short, I guess lots of time in the "wild" flies or wasps will inject their eggs into a caterpillar, and when it forms its chrysalis, the maggot will emerge..And thats what we had happen. Very sad for the poor thing. Next year I do believe I will buy the habitat and eggs and so it from the beginning so that there are no chance of this again.
On another note, we are taking a sorta off week. Just kinda taking a week to relax, and enjoy just being. The boys have done great with their schooling. And its a well deserved break. Of course they are bored now! I spent today trying to clean the house really good, since I have really been more maintaining lately. Finding my balance. And really happy I got it done. By the end of today, I did make them help. But ya know...they really need to help a little more. I don't want them doing the laundry themselves, or anything like that. Mr B takes out Trash, they both deal with the animals(the cat and dog) but its just feeding and changing water. Once a week they help gather laundry. Other than that, Just their Jr Chef Jr Host. Well and Mr B also puts away dishes. And they are to clean their room and the playroom. on occasion lol. So really not much. Today, Mr B had to help scrub the bathroom floor..as to why, anyone with boys KNOWS why....And Lil Bear helped me clean the AC/Heater filter cover. And that took forever. Plus he help scrub out trashcans. Other than those couple things today, they played. All day. Until doctor appointment.
Now on the doc appt. Lil Bears skin, well his bumpys as he calls them, are nothing. Just a normal thing for a kid with asthma and allergies. And we have meds for his nebulizer for the JUST IN CASE winter weather that seems to get him every time. Mr B will have to have one scheduled to discuss his hernia again.. Have a bad feeling the other side is trying to present itself finally. And that he also possibly strained the already fixed side.
Whew that was alot to spit out today! Until next time....

Lil Bears Flat Stanley has come home

Lil Bears Stanley went to San Diego, California. He had fun visiting the San Diego Zoo, A park in Coranado. And he even managed to stay out of trouble even though...


He had a blast and came home with tons of stories to tell. He was soo excited that he even got to pick out a new kitten!!


So Lil Bears Stanley will be leaving us again this Monday.. He is ready to visit....AUSTRALIA!

Lil Bears Stanley

Well Lil Bears Stanley made it to California! And his host was so kind to show us that he arrived safe and sound. As well as she already made sure he got something into his belly. Hey it may be flat, but still needs nourishment.

Mr B's made it also. Hes in Indiana. But hes gonna take a different kind of trip. Hes starting there. And in a little while he will be flying(yep again) this time NOT in a mail plane, but with another host all the way to New Zealand.

Our Stanleys will continue to travel for as long as they are having fun. Every time he returns, we will spend a couple days with him, and send him out again. While Stanley is out visiting a new host, we will be learning about where he just came from. So soon, the boys will start with the States of California, and Indiana. And New Zealand. During the times hes gone again Im sure we can cover the areas he comes from.
Hope our Stanleys are enjoying their trips and bring us back some good information! (and goodies too hehehe)
