The Great Butterfly Massacre

For Ashlyn's birthday a month ago, she received a butterfly kit.  The kit came with a cute little butterfly habitat and a coupon to mail away for five small caterpillars that would eventually...

turn themselves into chrysalids... and...

hatch into painted lady butterflys!

Ashlyn very lovingly cared for her caterpillars and butterflies, watching them grow and change every day, feeding them, and making sure they stayed out of the stinker's way so that she didn't shake and scare them in their habitat... Well, the last butterfly hatched two days ago and Ashlyn decided it was time to let them out into the real world... experience freedom, and fresh air, and real nectar!  We gathered all the siblings together and thought that the stinker would also enjoy watching the butterflies fly away into the great blue horizon...

However, the butterflies didn't quite know what to do when they got out and they climbed up on Tanner's shirt, and chilled out on the porch steps...BAD MOVE BUTTERFLIES!!!  Everything from there happened in a blur... Charlotte was all over them, like me on chocolate.  She grabbed those butterflies in her pudgy little fists and ripped their wings off, then threw them on the ground and stomped on them.

Poor Ashlyn... I didn't even know what to say to comfort her?

Here is a video of the terrible massacre... if you have a weak stomach for butterfly torture, don't play it!
