shutterfly

The girls recently found a butterfly in the backyard.  They did not realize she was injured thus the reason she would not fly away and wanted to hang around for so long.
That evening, we were sitting downstairs and heard this awful wailing coming from the girls' room.  Both girls were sobbing on their beds.  Ben thought they must have collided and hit heads the way they were both carrying on.  It turns out the girls had released the butterfly in the backyard b/c I told them she would die if they kept her in the butterfly house for too long.  "We are going to miss her. She was so much fun.  She is going to die and have no one to take care of her eggs.  Sob, Sob, Sob."
When we went to the backyard, Shutterfly was right where Bella had left her, so we put her back in the butterfly house along with some flowers and grass.  Unfortunately, Shutterfly did not make it through the night, but for some reason the girls were ok with it when they found her.  I could not believe the drama.  What is life going to be like in five years?
