Birdhouses

Kyrie went to Tyler the other day with a very good idea. She had created the blueprints for a birdhouse. Or as she put it "a house for a bird to go, and to be happy, and tweet." We had not seen her so excited for quite awhile. So, Daddy signed off on the plans. He bravely took both girls to the hardware store where he got a lot of wood and both girls got a new hammer.

It took most of the afternoon on his day off, but he helped them make and paint their houses. If that wasn't proof enough of how much he loves them - he let them hang their houses on his shed so that they can see them from their window. The girls are very proud of them, and they can't wait for the new neighbors!

Dancin'

While we were cleaning today, I uncovered a dance costume that had been handed down from cousin Raeni. It didn't fit when we first got it, and I had honestly forgotten about it. Kyrie immediately started saying how "cute" and "wonderful" it was. Now that she got it on, we may never get it off. I am quite sure she would wear it to bed and school if I let her. Savvy really wants Ky to "hurry up and grow" because she wants it. At least it will be well loved. Thanks Raeni!
