Bird Feeder

Okay so I must say this just so some moms can relate

or just realize that they are better then me

because this might not be a big deal for them!

  

Brandon had to take off after Paige's soccer

game this Saturday to help his Brother and so

I thought it would be no big deal taking the

kids to the Home Depot activity they do

once a month.  My kids love it and look forward

to it.  So we went.  The HD employes handed

my kids their bird house kit and we headed

to the tables to build them. I think under different

circumstances I could have figured it out but between

the crowded tables, a toddler I did not dare take my 

eyes off for a sec and my other 3 girls wanting my

attention to help them build their bird house right

at the same moment got me a little overwhelmed. 

So after a few minutes of trying to help them all

at once I gave up.  We packed up the kits and 

headed home to build them at home.  Which

for me worked out better.  The kids really could

not have done it on their own because they needed

 me with each step.  The kids still had fun making

and painting them.  And then we bought some

bird feed and hung them in our back yard.

The kids love watching the birds. 

But I'll be the first to admit that a mother of 4 is

tough and I'm not sure how other mothers do

it with any more little ones than I have.
