Look who came for a visit

We live near a nature preserve and we have the most beautiful cardinals and blue jays that fly by. But we also have 8 or 9 roosters and chickens living around the corner. And it's really funny because sometimes they'll get loose and stop traffic and I'll have shoo them to safety. Yhea people get a good laugh when watching.
But this week 2 or them figured out how to get loose and walked around the corner and have been hanging out in front of my home. They love corn and sunflower seeds and are very friendly. You really cant catch them because their fast runners. But they have no problem getting close if your feeding.

And yes this little guy had no problem waking me up for work this morning. :(

Baby It's Cold Outside!

Snowflake Suncatchers

How do you make fun of the cold weather? Winter Art!

-Construction paper, Contact paper, Tissue Paper/Confetti & Scissors

I totally grabbed this project from Frugal Family Fun Blog. I'm a big fan of any site that shows me how to create projects on a budget. A big +

This is a really easy project but I did precut the snowflakes for the kids. After they enjoyed cutting tissue paper to make confetti and sprinkled it over the contact paper. And Viola' ! Yes this project is great for making hearts for Valentines Day or Shamrocks for St. Patricks. It's so much fun and inexpensive to do. And I really love how brightly the colors shine through.
