Bird Houses

During our family white elephant party, Kevin won some bird house kits.  These were perfect since Ricky needed to build something for one of his cub scout requirements.  Billy got to join in the fun since there were 2 kits.

Kevin was extremely busy (still is) with his work changes during the holidays, but he found some time on New Year’s to build with the boys.

To say Rusty and Tommy were jealous would be putting it mildly.  They found their toy tools and were right in there, watching the action.

A few nails were bent but no fingers were hurt (at least not too badly).  It was a good male bonding time all around.

It was a week or so later before Kevin had more time available to help with the painting.  This was his project with the boys and I thought he should get the joy of seeing it through.  To keep Tommy and Rusty happy (and my table clean) we just spread out paper and let them paint to their hearts’ content.

Billy’s is the one on the left and Ricky’s is on the right.  They are very excited for spring so that we can put them up in our backyard.  I think they turned out pretty darn neat!
