{CYCOTP}Day 7–Birdseed Pinecone Playdate

Today was our BIG PLAY DATE!  We had 15 kids there!!  All were families who have signed up for the 30 day challenge!  We had bubbles, chalk, music, scooters/bikes, kites, rocks to climb, and we made pine cone bird feeders!  So, without much ado…here are pictures…(many of these were taken by my dear friend, Tara, who had her camera when I didn’t have mine!)

This is called…”What do you mean you have cactus in your yard and didn’t tell anyone?” (It’s in the corner…I’m such a terrible host!)

Equal amounts of Peanut Butter and real butter/lard (I used lard).  The lard thins it so it doesn’t CHOKE the birds!

Birdseed and string!!

I don't mean to brag, but picture-wise, together, we could put a hurtin' on somebody! Love it! We had so much fun (minus the cactus, tee hee). Happy weekend to you!

So much fun! I can't wait to host one here at my house! Wish I lived close enough to swing on by yours!
