Weekend at the Farm

Claire and Max spent the weekend with us.  We had a Tea Party,

Max enjoyed his tea a lot,

then we made bird feeders,

application precision is important,

Uncle Sean and Max braved the cold to hang them in the tree,

you have to hang them in just the right spot,

here we go, last one - the birds are gonna love them!

Over the weekend we also went out for dinner.  The kids finished their dinner and the owner gave them full-sized candy.  M&Ms for Max and a Snickers bar for Claire and Brody.  Can't even begin to tell you how excited they were about those big bars!  They made them last all weekend!  They did a pretty good job sleeping through the night.  5 a.m. came early, but we talked them into snuggling in bed with us for a couple more hours.  (Omi and Papa really need their sleep these days!)  We also started work on an A-Z picture book, choosing pictures from magazines to match each letter.  This project will take us awhile.  After naps, Nana and Grandpa Brad came for a visit and coffee break, then Claire and Max went home with them for another adventure!  Lucky kiddos!
