I was that crafty mom

I am just about the most non-creative person ever.  I was all about Pinterest in the beginning and then I got off and now I'm on again.  It has made me realize how crafty people are and I'm very jealous.  I do set Brady up to paint every now and again and we do play-doh, which Buttercup usually enjoys because she ends up ingesting a lot of it.  But I am not that mom doing crafts every week with the kids.  BUT I made an exception when I saw these cute bird feeders and thought we could make those during the babies nap time.  So I was that mom for a whole 30 minutes.  And here is the photographic evidence:

This is what you will need.  If you like the mini spatulas they are from the Current catalog.  Amazing wrapping paper by the way! 

Spread the PB all over the TP tubes. 

Roll the tubes in the bird seed.

And Voila, hang them from a tree.  And as an added bonus, the 5 year old sat quietly by the window for a whole 20 minutes waiting on Mr. Bird to come and get himself some food.  As a side note: Brady's apron is from Land of Nod.  I have had so many compliments on it and feel like everyone is scrambling for an art smock because it's back to school time.  And really who is going to send their child in with one of dad's old shirts?  I was telling people to go on their website and they stopped carrying them.  I dropped them an email the other day to beg for the company to carry them again.  They are super cute and wipe clean.  I would love to get 2 more.  So please Land of Nod - bring them back!!
