For the birds

We took another field trip to the craft store today, and this time Claire picked out a little wooden birdhouse. (She also picked out a pair of size 15 knitting needles, a knitting frame, a cupcake-making kit, and a bag of tootsie pops, but we only brought the birdhouse home.) It was the perfect painting project for us this afternoon.





Claire also made up her own version of hopscotch to play on the back patio



While I was putting the groceries away she stole a tomato, sprinkled pepper on it, and ate it like an apple



And this is what we saw in the backyard before heading up to bed
