Yesterday Chris decided it was time to break out the sidewalk chalk. This was the first time we've done it. The boys had fun and did do some scribbling. Mostly they liked to watch what daddy and mama drew and hand us chalk. Boy did they get dirty! They had chalk all over their clothes, feet, hands, face....pretty much everywhere. When we came in they had to go straight in the tub.
Today I decided to try some Easter crafts with the boys. I know Alex does some things with glue and cutting at school. I planned to make Easter bunnies and eggs and tried to have all the pieces cut out before sitting the boys at the table. (The bunny heads are paper plates turned backwards.) I don't have any pictures of the boys actually putting them together because well, I didn't want to take my eyes off the glue. I think they liked it though. I let them pick which colors they wanted to use and had them tell me where the eyes, nose, etc went. I still haven't gotten any Easter things down from the attic so this is our first dose of Easter so far.
This is in the tree right outside out dining room window. The squirrel just sat there with his arms hanging out of the hole (maybe his house?) for the longest time. I took this picture through the window. Finally he crawled out and flopped himself on his belly on a branch with his arms and legs hanging over the sides - very funny looking. We tried to creep out on the back porch for a better view and pictures but it he heard us and ran for cover back in the hole.
I saw a little head peep out of the hole and then it flew off. I'd really like to get a good look/picture of it. I did research woodpeckers though and this is what I think the culprit looks like. I can always see that flash of red on it's head as it flies away.
