Bird Watching

we've been going a little stir crazy over at our house and are waiting impatiently for the temps to cool off some more so we can start playing outdoors. {yesterday we lasted about half an hour at the park before giving up.} in the meantime i'm trying to find fun stuff for us to do to keep busy.

this morning i saw a hummingbird flitting around outside our house and decided we should get a feeder for them. that entailed a trip to our dandy walmart. one hour later we left with a hummingbird feeder, matching dresses for the girls, several other random things and ALMOST a fishbowl starter kit and a new goldfish. no more going to the store to pass the time for me! we mixed up some sugar water when we got home and hung the feeder outside our front window. between lunch time and nap time and everything between, the hummingbird feeder was forgotten.

but when madison woke up this afternoon i asked her to look and see if there were any birds yet. she scampered off to check it out and excitedly came running back.

"mom! come on, come look!"

there were two little hummingbirds sitting on the feeder.

now we are bird watching till dad gets home.
