New Bird Feeder

Logan and I found these cute bird feeders at the Dollar Tree a while back. Just now getting around to filling them with bird seed. But since we have the birds have loved our yard. It's a little difficult to see the birds in the picture's but they're there. We had to take the pictures through the window inside since they are frightened easily. You can click on the pictures to make them bigger.


There's the bird on the ground, just to the right of the bird feeder. He blends in nicely with our rocks.

This one the bird is on the feeder on the left side eating.

Since our yard has become a nice snack time for the birds, it's also attracted some neighborhood cats. Who like to wait for the birds and then hunt them. I don't think any birds have been caught yet. I don't think that the cat that stalks our yard is a great hunter, he/she is a little clumsy and usually isn't real quiet when sneaking up on the birds. But I was able to get a picture of the cat watching the birds.

The cat is white, hiding behind the tree in the top center. There's two birds on the ground on the left side of the picture.
About 5 seconds after I took the picture the cat charged at the birds, but got no where close to catching them.

So that's been our entertainment lately.

Sesame Street Easter Eggs

We haven't posted anything in a long time. We just haven't had any exciting adventures. Lately we've been spending most of our days in doors staying out of the horrible wind. It seems this spring is windier then usual. We always have wind but it seems much stronger this year.

Yesterday we went to church for the Good Friday Kids Activity Day. Logan is still to young to participate, so he played in the nursery while I helped with a craft. Logan did come down to do some crafts but only wanted to do one, the jelly bean one. I did wish I brought my camera yesterday since there was a bat in the church which would have been fun to get a picture of. We're not sure how the bat got in the church but he was found sleeping in the corner of one of the rooms.

So today after a trip in the pouring rain and hail to the post office, Sams Club and Walmart we spent the day watching baseball and dying Easter Eggs. We found a really cute Sesame Street egg dying kit that Logan loved. It came with a ton of stickers. Logan only wanted to use a few. He wanted to save the rest for later. We used white crayons to draw on our eggs before dying them.

Here we are drawing on our eggs.

Hmm, which color?



Looks like we choose orange.



Even Cinderella wants to get into the egg dying fun.



Here's the finished eggs. Some of them have stickers, some don't.



The kit came with stickers to make Abby and Elmo.




Finally a picture of Logan that he agreed to. Could his camera shy stage be over.....?

Happy Easter.
