this was fun - bird seed wreaths

i tried to find pinecones to cover, but had no luck. i did find these mini grapevine wreaths at hobby lobby. we covered them in peanut butter then rolled them in bird seed. i used some jute to hang them from the tree in our front yard. it was a perfect day to sit under the tree and craft. the boys really loved it. and i think the birds are enjoying them as well.

garden life

watering. feeding. weeding. harvesting.
the fruit of our labor is the best.
roma tomatoes
cilantro
strawberries
blackberries
cucumbers all growing strong. we planted the blackberry bush this time last year. it's blooming and producing loads of blackberries. eeeee! JAM
we trimmed back the mums from the fall and they are still blooming. hens and chicks. my favorite.

it finally happened... someone cut their hair with kid scissors.
and of course in twin fashion they cut each other's hair... cause that's nice, "right momma?"
i was amazed how trusting corbin was to sit and let cooper take the lead.
when i realized they were not just spraying water and combing, but also cutting corbin said, "does it look better mom? did he get rid of my cowlick?"
ahhh so sweet.
coop did a number on one side of the cowlick, alright.

it's only hair mom, it will grow back. no worries. -Corbin

life doesn't always go as planned. help others anyway. it's my new favorite quote. i read it at liferearranged.com. perfect! and inspiring.
