Jace's Bird Feeder

Jace getting his supplies together
We have the string on the roll

Spreading the peanut butter

Sprinkling bird seed
Getting the other side
Now to really get the roll covered

All done!

"I want it on that bush" (You can't see it, but he's pointing
in the general direction of the bush)
Here you go birds!
The biggest CHEESE I could get out of him...
the sun was in his eyes.

Later that day a HUGE flock of black birds came down and was around the bird feeder. We had the door open and I whispered to Jace to peek at his bird feeder. He slowly got up and tip-toed to the door and eased his head around and saw the "silly birdies" jumping up at his feeder and snagging what little seed and PB they could, (we forgot to put perches on it...).

A New House...FINALLY!

Annie, the ever curious one...
"Watcha doin'?"

"Hhmmm, this will do..."

After a slow and some what difficult trip from Mom and Dad's house to mine, the shed made it on one piece, broken...but one piece. They have really loved the new little shed and are much, much warmer than in their little adobe hut.

Puzzle Time!

Jace getting started...

He got Lightning, now he's working on Mader
Almost there...!

Now get the outside!

All done! Good job!

(With help from Ben, the train)

Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel






About a week ago I finally decided that it was time to get some new tires for my truck...(they were pretty bad)!! And I hadn't seen Claire in FOREVER, so I figured that I would take Jace and Claire to see the early showing of Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, get tires, then they would get home at a decent time.
They had sooooo much fun! They LOVED it!! The laughed through the whole thing. Claire was either at the edge of her seat or standing up dancing and Jace pretty much stayed in my lap the entire time. It was wonderful bonding time for Auntie Em... I just soaked it up!!
I highly recommend the movie...btw.
