Today in class, Connor and his friends made bird feeders with pine cones and bird seed (and some unknown sticky substance that makes the seed stick to the pine cone, hence the plastic sandwich bag). We, of course, had to hang it up right that second, even though it was actually raining and had been for a while (so it was kind of wet and nasty in the yard). And it had to go up high, so the "squirrels won't get it." You know, because we have so many of those in our front yard.
Oh, and that look on his face. That would be attitude. The kind that gets you sent to your room for being mean to your little brothers as soon as we all get home from their school. After a long day yesterday and an early morning today with school, he was very cranky. And tired. He fell asleep within minutes of being sent to his room. Two hours later I woke him back up so he might go to bed sometime tonight. We're still waiting on that part, at almost 11. Good times.
