For the Birds...

We went to the Pecan Street Festival downtown this weekend (as we have EVERY year) and found some seriously cute ceramic whistling birds. You know, the kind you fill with a little bit of water and blow through the top and it really sounds like a bird? Anyway, Little Miss A and Mr. D have had so much fun with these. The kids do bird songs to the neighbors across the greenbelt in the backyard ...holy crow it echoes like crazy. They sing bird songs to Sophie (the cat) who absolutely HATES it. The birds HAVE to sing before we leave the house for school. The kids are currently taking "bird baths" as I am typing this. Are you noticing a trend? After the "noise" of Christmas, what on Earth possessed us to make a double purchase of these little treasures? ;)
