DIY Bird Feeders

 In hopes of keeping us all busy and happy this week I planned out an activity for each day. After Joseph went for his afternoon nap the older two and I got busy making bird feeders. I found the idea on pinterest and it turned out to be a lot of fun for everyone.

 Camilla got pretty into it, but didn't like getting messy.

 I love her positive attitude about everything.

 Once they had each finished a couple we went outside to find good places to hang them.

 The kids especially loved climbing the tree in the front yard and hiding the feeders on the branches.

 We've been searching for birdies ever since. 

 Joseph ended up having an extra long nap, so the kids played outside for a bit and we were able to get some school work done. While Camilla was working she grumped, "When am I not going to be a kid anymore?" I told her that when she moved away from home she wouldn't be a kid anymore. She then started to cry, "I want to be a kid forever! I never ever want to leave you!". We then shared a very long, sweet hug and she ended up giggling because the baby kicked her while we were snuggling. I love my little tender girl. 
 
I think this might be a fun craft that we will do again soon!
