Fall fun

Having everyone home has been enjoyable. It has been really nice to enjoy my Mauma and her company. She was acting silly :)We haven't really had much on our to do list which has been nice, so today we decided to do a fall craft. So if you want something to do with your kids, here is a simple and fun fall craft. All you need is 3 things...

1. Pine cones
2. Peanut Butter
3. Bird seed

and ta-da this is what you get...a home made bird feeder!

I've had these pine cones sitting around for over a year and finally decided to put them to use. The kids really enjoyed it. Be prepared though, it gets kind of sticky :) I covered my table with newspapers so when we were done all we had to do was wrap everything up and the mess was nearly gone, minus the bird seed on the floor! All we need to do now is add a hook (Christmas tree hooks work great) and some ribbon and they are ready to go. We plan on giving them to Grandma's to hang on their patios for the birds to feed on.
I wasn't brave enough to let Grady participate, but he had fun sitting in his high chair eating green beans and watching the other kiddos.
