The Birds & The Bees!

The rain has kept us inside this weekend, but that doesn't stop us from having fun!  Hailey has made so many bird friends...because she's just like Cinderella, you know. Last summer, we drilled a bird feeder into the shutter outside her window and we've have so much fun watching all the colorful birds come to eat! They have been through a whole bag of feed so far, and apparrently a squirrel has enjoyed the seeds as well...notice the top has been removed....stinker!  Poor Lindsey has a hard time not scaring them away, because she gets so excited, followed by a slap on the window and shouting, "Look!" As much as we love to bird watch, I never thought about capturing Hailey's bird friends with my camera.  She has given them all names...and of course the same birds from last year have returned to her window to say hello, eat, play peek a boo and sing. 
So....everyone, please meet Thomas....the Cardinal.

                                                             Lindsey was so excited!

                                                    But he came back several times....

Meet, Bubble the Chickadee...(he was her favorite last year)

Meet, Hokie...(unsure what kind of bird he is...)

As last, but not least, meet...Snap & Clap(I believe they're finches)

This weekend has been lots of fun with my girls. We've been busy in the craft box and playing boards games(candyland and Olivia chutes & ladders) as well as "made-up" games which are the best! Both girls made wrist cuffs out of toilet paper rolls that look like bumble bees at Mimi's house, so that was HUGE this weekend...sorry no pics in action...I was too busy running from 2 of the cutest pretend bees that were trying to sting me.

                                              Ahhh, weekends go by way too fast!
