Happy Birthday Grandma Richards!

It was my mom's birthday this week so for our FHE we made some bird feeders. I found the recipe on Pinterest! (man i love that website!) Each kid picked a cookie cutter out then we wrapped them in tin foil and sprayed them with cooking spray.

(Ethan chose a tulip)

(Emma a star)

(Ella a duck)


Next step, mix up some plain ol' gelatin with some water, btw, it stinks, can you tell by Ella's face in the below picture?


Measure out 2 cups of seeds and add the gelatin.


Stir, stir, stir! Then fill your cookie cutter up to the top.




Once filled put a cut straw where you want your string to go once it is dry.

Tie a piece of rope or hemp or whatever you have and it's done. We gave these to Grandma to take up to her new Cabin. It was fun and cheap!!

Goodbye Training Wheels!

Ella came up to me yesterday and told me she wanted her training wheels off. Hooray! I can't believe how big she is getting. It took a couple tries but now she is a pro!! We are so proud!
