Oh Butterfly, Where Art Thou??

Last Friday Noah and I were trying to find things to do (we have a short window frame since Caden gets out of school at 11am). He found a Popsicle holder and got so excited! This is our little conversation:
N: Mom! Look what I found! I have to go find a butterfly!
M: What? Why a butterfly (a little confused since it is what you freeze popsicle's in)
N: We have to give it a bath! Come on! Let's go!

So, we filled it up with water and went looking for a butterfly...
Here he is looking up at the tree, hoping there was one there...
Looking in the bushes...still no luck. I felt bad...how do you tell your 3 year old that it's really hard to find a butterfly when it is 1) 90 degrees outside 2) They are kinda hard to catch 3) It will not want us to give it a bath. So we just looked around for a good 40 minutes and he gave up and we went inside. He is such a sweet boy and very imaginative!
