smoothies with cousins

"b" (aka carrie, my sister) invited us over to play and make smoothies...it was a fun day with luke & audrey. samuel loves luke so so so so much! they are best friends!

the babies!

the big boys!

bird feeders

while playing at andy woods, we found these huge pine cones...i was taken back to my childhood when we made pine cone bird feeders. so samuel and i collected pines cones, bought bird seed & pb and invited our cousins over to make them!

audrey liked to lick the peanut butter
lukey working intently on his bird feeder
samuel spreading the pb
sprinkling the seeds and patting them on the sticky, pb-covered pine ones
the finished product!


ps so far our little feeders appear untouched...hmmmm....hoping the birds find them soon!
