my family the nature people....

the rock we found on the walk decorated with 'dirt'

working hard on getting her dirt to the rock...she did this for almost an hour!

color she says...

going outside hasn't been much of a priority lately cause i am big, round, and very chunky. well, today we just couldn't pass up on the whole 'no wind' sweeping down the plains. we took a walk...not far, but enough to make me crave a baby out of my uterus. ryan enjoyed playing with some concrete 'rocks' and decorating them with dirt. to those who don't know...you could give her a box of rocks and she's good for the rest of the day. she found some sticks too..i plan on getting her a sand box for the sum
mer. ryan will probably have fits to play in a sand box.

tomorrow we are going to make some bird feeders from free pine cones (thanks adeline and for your tree farmer of a dad who grew them), peanut butter, and some bird seed. i need to get with it and realize we have a real outdoors girl. this chick isn't afraid of bugs, snakes, lizards, or dirt...she welcomes nature and we LOVE IT! mostly her daddy...mr. eagle scout.


valentines day is coming up. we went to the city not too long ago and mr. eagle scout decided to drop me off and he and lil scout went to an outdoors store. he bought his awesome v-day gift...i guess it's better than any kind of gift i would've thought of...but he bought a knife...the same one bear grylls first used...you know...the nature guy from man vs wild. i say hooray for tucker for he was thoroughly excited about his awesome knife...he even wears it to work in an office...pretty sure that's illegal...whatever makes him feel like the eagle scout he is i guess.
