Jameson told me we needed to get bird seed to feed Tweety one day. Well, I had seen this idea on the blog Eighteen25 and wanted to try it. So I bought some birdseed, and Monday we got busy. I had told him we first needed to clean things up, and he exclaimed, “Yah Mom, I need to do the dishes.” By all means, kid. Knock yourself out. It’s about time you earn your keep.

I know you’re all jealous of his non-matching, too small pajamas and tennis shoes. Those are his running shoes by the way. He has taken to using different shoes for different purposes. His other shoes are Vans slip-on shoes that are his “jumping” shoes, and his Vans skater type shoes are his “climbing” shoes. We even had to take all three to the park last week and he changed shoes as he did different things.

Anyway, back to bird seed. We mixed our pectin with birdseed, and mashed it into our cookie cutters. Jameson would mix for me, but was not about to touch it and get his hands dirty.

Then it was time to let them dry. We had to keep flipping them to make sure they got nice and dry. In the meantime, Jameson entertained himself while I did some crafting.

This kid’s imagination does not end. He has a sound effect for everything. It’s a little ridiculous sometimes. I was working on something, and he used some of my crafting supplies (bathroom tiles) to put his little lego men on. I couldn’t help but record him. I wanted to ask him what he was doing, but didn’t want him to know I was recording him.

It was a long wait, but Tuesday morning, we headed into the backyard to hang our bird feeders. Our first fish hung up great, but after that, it kind of went down hill. Our string didn’t hold so well, so we ended up setting the feeders in the trees and around the yard.

See our fish hanging in the upper left corner? Jameson was out checking to see if Tweety was going go come and eat. I have no idea where he heard about Tweety from, but whatever. We’re still waiting for birds, but the squirrels have definitely found our feeders.
