Everything's Going to the Birds

One morning the kids asked for apples for breakfast, so that's what we had. It's not your typical breakfast food, but it's healthy so who am I to say no to that. Anyway, Abby only took a bite or two of her apple and Jake ate half of his apple. I wasn't about to waste those apples so I quickly decided to make some impromptu bird feeders. I strung the apples up on some twine and gathered peanut butter and bird seed. The kids were so excited to feed the birds.
Step 1: Spread peanut butter on the apple.

Step 2: Cover the apple in bird seed.

(Abby saw a bird on the patio as we were making these, love her face!)
Step 3: Hang the bird feeders on a tree!

The kids were so proud of their bird feeders and would check on them constantly. Jake's however was taken by the squirrels about a day or two after we put it out. Abby's lasted about a week and a half before the squirrels got it.

This picture has nothing to do with the bird feeders, just a cute pic of Lily!
