Feed the Squirrels
Thursday, March 11th, 2010
I admit it… I’ve a soft spot for Mr. Fix-it… And, here he is. This is my sweet-hearted Doug… handyman, father, & weekend project warrior. On this sunny Texas afternoon, Doug’s daughter was having a friend over to play & a plan was made for the kids to build their very own squirrel feeders… and build they did.
Kids have a way of reminding us to have fun. Here are some tips: there’s never just one way to do anything. Allow friends to do things their own way. And, always laugh together. Laughter should be a part of every project, and most assuredly squirrel projects.
So, prior to build, the kids decided to keep their little hands busy by de-kournel-ing a few ears of corn. Some might suggest that would defeat the ‘feeding’ purpose of the squirrel feeder; but, who am I to judge? I’m just here to capture the moments of their perfection… like these:
Stop: Hammer-Time
Jack’s daddy says: “If I had a hammer, I’d hammer in the morning… I’d hammer in the evening… all over this land…” Pretty much priceless, don’t you think?
Mission Accomplished!
Perfect Daddy Daughter Photo! How much do we love this pic?! Ahhhh!
This is the end of a happy squirrel-ly tail.
