A Little Birdhouse Story
It was a rainy Sunday here at Casapinka so the girls decided to paint some birdhouses. We went to Michael's and got a few houses (including one that would take real birdseed) and got out our craft paint.
We were incessantly hounded by creative babies who were never able to foil our efforts (for the record that Exersaucer plaything is known as "The Office" as in, "Could you take Junior out from UNDER The Office and take him TO the office right NOW?" It makes the plasticy brighness more appealing - try it!)
Well, it rained and rained and Junior even managed to torture the cat on the other side of the door before we rescued her.
Here they are all finished and sealed.
And as the rain finally cleared and the birds came out,
we found that there was no tree left on which to hang the birdhouses; part of it had fallen in the storm. We couldn't even blame Junior because he was inside the entire time.
This is the old view.
oh how I miss the exesaucer. You just can't get a nine yr old to stay in one of those.
lovely birdhouses

Drey, it just came down in the storm we had - didn't even think it was much of a storm.

I ADORE the birdhouse colours!!! So adorable. Sucks about the tree. Oh, and "the office" saved my sister's life.

Mwaaahhaaaahhaaaa! I love that you took a picture before letting the cat in. Mine are always crying, stuck somewhere wishing I would put the damn camera down and just rescue them already.

ooh how awful about that tree falling! would have been so quaint having the birdhouses just outside! like little lanterns. they look so cute btw!
my girl didn't like the exersaucer at all... she loved being under the seat though!

the birdhouses are adorable. And the photo is Junior tormenting the cat is cute.
Petit Casapinka survived the falling tree, right?
