For The Birds

This has been a busy week for Josiah and me. We have been doing a little cleaning and planting and painting. Thursday it was so nice out we decided to paint a bird house I had bought last year and used part of for Elijah's birthday cake. It has been sitting around the house for a year so I thought we should put it to good use! Jojo had a blast painting it and took a very long time to finish. He told me it was my job to paint the umbrella part the way he said. So, I did! He painted the "feeder" part and helped me fill it with the bird seed. Then he directed me to the tree he wanted to hang it on. It made for a very fun afternoon for the two of us!
It's pretty hard to miss in the tree!


Earlier in the week we planted some vegetable seeds for a garden. Josiah got to help with that too. We had dirt spread all over the kitchen and out the door to the deck. There may have been a little on us as well! ; ) Can't wait to see what actually grows!

This is just a sampling of what we actually planted. I have these all over my house!

Josiah insisted on using the "pretty pots"

And this is what Jojo has been doing every afternoon around 4:00. Like I said, it has been a busy week!
