Y’all are going to count birds this weekend, right? You’re supposed to count ’em and send the info to www.birdcount.org so we can find out just where someone put all the birds. My students are going to look for birds at school (frozen, popsicle-like birdies) through ‘binoculars’ that we shall make from toilet paper tubes. Ah, imagination. Also, we’re going to attempt to reproduce these sickeningly cute birds that I saw at Pottery Barn Kids. I hate Pottery Barn Kids. Everything in there is so dang cute and expensive, and I’m so dang old and cheap. This, though, I like. Its construction should be exceedingly simple.
Brad, if we had more money and if you were ten, we would have bought you these:
Deanne says
Doesn’t he have a guest bedroom where they could go? They’re on sale…
Brad says
Couldn’t you make me sheets like that out of toilet paper tubes or something?
Annette says
And you shall know they’re Lutherans by their craft supplies…..
Peggy says
Are you gonna make the tree too? I like the tree. Awesome activity!!! I want to do it too! I’ll make my binoculars today.
And Brad—you don’t have Superman sheets?!?! What the …

My comment has nothing to do with this post. I am soooo bored at work today, that I have been reliving your lives. Some good, some bad, some weird, alot funny. My favorites so far have been of your cats although I keep going back to the bacon mats. (in a Homer Simpson voice) Mmmmm..bacon. Don’t be suprised to see comments from old posts.
Stephannie says
EWWW -- creepy “easter egg”!
Lauren says
Thank you for finding it, Steph! Didn’t anyone watch Nightmare Before Christmas??
Deanne says
I don’t remember that guy… guess it’s time to watch it again. (Good movie! Did I tell you that the Haunted Mansion at Disney was made into Nightmare Before Christmas for Christmas--cool, except we couldn’t really understand the story. That just means we’ll have to go back again at Christmas sometime!)
