We have a lot of birds in our backyard. One pair even built a nest in our tomato planter \u2013 twice.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Peeking<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My sweet granddaughter and her mommy loved taking peeks to see if the eggs had hatched yet.<\/div>\n
It was amazing how quickly the baby birds grew and flew the nest.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My husband enjoys woodworking projects and my granddaughter loves being a helper.<\/div>\n
So he decided this week that they would build a bird feeder for all of those birds<\/div>\n
\u00a0that live in our backyard.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

He went online and found a pattern<\/a>. On Monday, he cut all of the wood pieces<\/div>\n
so that he didn’t have to try to use a saw and watch her at the same time.<\/div>\n
It was all ready to go when she arrived on Tuesday.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Painting<\/a>\"Painting<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He turned her loose with plates of outdoor acrylic paint and a sponge brush,<\/div>\n
and let her paint to her heart\u2019s content. He helped her try to put hand prints on each end<\/div>\n
\u00a0of the bird feeder. Her favorite painting tool was her hand!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After the paint dried, he assembled the bird feeder.<\/div>\n
(She didn’t want to help with this part because the nail gun was too loud!)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Hanger<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Today he hung the feeder in the tree near our patio. She loves to be on the ladder<\/div>\n
so she had to stand on the bottom rung while he put it up. Then I lifted her up to him<\/div>\n
so she could be the one to fill the feeder with the bird seed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She scooped it into the feeder and even grabbed a little seed to see if it \u201ctasted\u201d good.<\/div>\n
Whenever she goes into the backyard she checks to see if the birdies are eating yet.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Of course, as you can see in the pictures, we realized after it was hung that<\/div>\n
the bottom of the bird feeder should have been painted. So I am sure that they will get out<\/div>\n
\u00a0the paints on another day and paint the bottom so it is as pretty as the rest of the feeder.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I love that my husband takes an active role in making memories with our granddaughter!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Do you have little ones in your life that would enjoy spending time with you?<\/div>\n
Take a little time from the day-to-day routines to make memories that you both<\/div>\n
can treasure in the years to come. It doesn’t always have to be a big project.<\/div>\n
It can be as simple as taking walks, watching a kids movie, or watching<\/div>\n
the birds and bunnies that play in the yard while sitting in the patio swing.<\/div>\n
I\u2019d love to hear about your fun making memories.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am so thankful that the Lord has given me a husband<\/div>\n
who shares my heart for our home and family!<\/div>\n
