The kids finally had a chance to use their easel for painting today (though they've been enjoying the chalkboard side plenty). It was cool and breezy outside, but nice and sunny, so we spent the afternoon playing outdoors. It was a quiet, relaxing, yet still productive day, and the kids were in great moods all day (which is always a bonus). The painting kept James' attention for about 10-15 minutes. Cora lasted another 5-10 minutes. They did great sharing the paints and space, and we have plans to turn their artwork into something sweet to send their GG at the hospital.
After the painting, we decided to move a couple of our bird feeders from the back of the house up to the front, since we rarely spend time out back in the winter (it gets dark too early). This way, we can watch the goldfinches and chickadees and titmice and woodpeckers and cardinals from the kitchen and living room.
The kids were good helpers, as always.
(Don't mind the helmet, he'd been biking up and down the driveway.)
Once the feeders were moved, we decided to take a ride around the neighborhood. Or the neighbor-bushes as James called it today. Don't ask. The kid is full of weird sayings these days. Including "You're freaking me out!" and "What in the world?!" We're pretty sure he says half the things he does lately just to freak us out...
Happy Saturday y'all!
