Birds in Flight!

Well as I mentioned earlier, today was a big day with BJ starting school and the new late shift at work! The kids took the change a little harder then I thought which resulted in a VERY WHINY morning! So to break up the sobbing and tantrums we did a...... CRAFT! I found this one at FamilyFun.com (http://jas.familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts?page=CraftDisplay&craftid=10716). We picked it because I already had everything at the house to make it (which is a HUGE plus for me) and we could get outside and run around (which I thought would help the kids cheer up!)

So it was super easy all you need is a paper plate, 2 plastic spoons, some tape and markers and a small pebble! The link gives the detailed instructions if you are interested! But it was really simple, Spencer AND Cooper were able to help make our BIRD! It was funny because Cooper kept trying to eat off the spoons and Spencer was worried because he thought Cooper was eating the Birds head! It was kinda hilarious!Once we got outside the kids had so much fun running around with then and TRYING to make them fly!This is one of the picnic tables outside the boys love to play on it like its a jungle gym! Spencer was practicing his flying skills! And Cooper just LOVES to watch his brother! But making sure Spenc didn't have all the fun Cooper climbed up and down the table, laughing the whole time!
