Birdhouses



My mother collects wooden birdhouses (you can see some of them on the railing of the deck - she has a lot more than that!), some of which she buys plain and paints herself. Today, we all had a birdhouse painting morning...



I chose one which was like a beach hut:



Mom painted a lighthouse:



Alex did this rocket ship with only a tiny bit of help:



Olivia painted two - a small windmill (about 6 inches tall)



and a larger airplane:



And Sarah chose this castle tower:



Some of the birdhouses may be coming home with us, some will be staying with Grandma...
