Bird feeder

Last year my Mom gave Kalista a bird feeder.  She loves the thing.  As soon as the weather gets cold we fill it up.  It is her job to keep it full and she takes it very seriously.   Yesterday we bought a new bag of seed and filled it up.  You wouldn't believe how much birds can eat!

We put the feeder just outside her bedroom window so she could always see the birds...  and so the poop stays way away from the sidewalks.

This morning I was awakened by her using her words.

I rolled over and saw her holding the curtain open and yelling "no no no!  MINE! bird seed..... BBBird ssssseed!"

I looked out the window to see our little dear herd has found the feeder.  It was actually kind of cute seeing them eating out of the feeder.  If I was quicker I could have taken a picture.  Maybe tomorrow.

That is how I ended up filling the feeder at 6am in my PJ pants.....  and it has no chance of staying full for a whole day.

You do what you gotta do to avoid a meltdown right?
