For the Birds (and Sunflowers)

How do you get two sick kids into the car when leaving the doctor's office, when instead of getting in the car they would prefer to play under the pine tree? Well, you help them pick out two nice pine cones and promise to help them make bird feeders after nap time, of course! Our kiddos decided that they would like to spend the nice, long, Memorial Day weekend batling strep throat. Being as it was near 100 degrees all weekend, I honestly didn't mind staying in and resting up in the cool air conditioning.

 Surprisingly, the pine cones survived the onslaught of peanut butter
wielding children and made it to the bird seed portion of the competition!

The finished products waiting to be enjoyed by our feathered friends.

After hanging our bird feeders we checked on our sunflowers and watered our garden.

I think I am just as amazed as the kids by how fast these things grow!
