for the birds...

this was a lot of fun... although i don't know how much the birds will enjoy them, they're a little small... but, either way, we had fun making them. we have this reward system going on with the kids for doing schoolwork at home. they get points for the schoolwork they do and extra points for doing it with a good attitude :) they finally reached their fifty point goal which earns them a trip to the swimming pool! i decided to get them these birdhouse kits too, so that they had something special they got the moment they hit their goal (and of course i thought they would be fun for our summer birds that are starting to arrive). it was so fun watching them paint and maiko is so good at the building! they're hanging outside now and i just love the color it adds to the yard! so even if the birds don't use them, i love them :)
