This Week

This week we had lots of fun learning about birds, bees, and painting. We pretended to be different types of birds. Chanse's favorite was the owl. We were up in a tree listening for a mouse and then quietly swooped down and snatched the mouse. Hero was the mouse. They had so much fun. We made a bird food snack. We made a plate for ourselves and then one for the birds. We used sunflower seeds, crackers, and Cheerios. The kids loved to eat the sunflower seeds. We watched out our window for a long long time and moved the snack around in the yard then the birds finally came and ate the food. I missed most of it. I think Hero saw most of it. But it was fun. (I only got pictures of the birds on our wall. When they came into our yard the sun was glaring on the window.) We now have a hummingbird feeder set up. We made hummingbird food ourselves. So fun!!! We also learned about how honey is made. Chanse now loves to eat honey.



The kids had a ball painting.

Tonight when it was time to get jammies on Sterling grabbed two of her shirts and was trying to put her jammies on herself. One sleeve from one shirt on one leg and one sleeve from the other shirt on the other leg. Then both legs in one shirt! She tries to be so helpful and independent!!! What a funny girl!!!

Don't you love that about being a mom? It's so fun to watch them discover new things especially outside. That was so creative of you to come up with the bird food and pretending to be different kinds of birds. They must have loved it!
