Bird houses


We had a little bird who had a hurt wing living in our backyard for a few days.  The bird's mom would come and feed him and the kids loved watching him.  Jack was a little concerned for the bird and he kept asking why the bird couldn't fly.  Well, I saw these little wooden bird houses at Wal-Mart a few days later and thought it would be a fun project to paint them and hang them up for the birds. Jack was able to make a connection that we were making a house for the little hurt bird outside and he was so excited.  It was a super fun project!  (The bird houses were obviously too small for a bird to actually live in but they still looked super cute hanging in my tree...)







And, on a totally random side note, I have been wanting to post a picture of this drawing Sue's sisters had done for a mother's day gift.  Isn't it beautiful!  Supposedly the guy who drew this draws portraits of the prophets.
