Spring Break Snakes and Birdhouses

side and back of my birdhouse

How's your Spring Break going so far?
Mine's going like this:
I almost stepped on a snake in the woods today, trying to get photos for a school project~ so I came back inside and decided to upload these photos instead :0
I haven't seen a snake since we lived in France(where we saw them occasionally).
We've seen about 3 since we've been here, and I could do without. I didn't stick around long enough to figure out what kind it was.
I had the camera, & thinking back, maybe I should have gotten a photo? I had been trying to avoid an upturned old rake I knew was out there somewhere, when my daughter spotted the snake instead.

~~~

Today we made a project inspired by the birdhouses here , on flickr and various other blogs... These were fun, and are meant to be a present for someone so I hope they don't get a sneak peek here~ but I thought the birdhouses turned out so cute I wanted to share. Here is mine:

love the sparkle in the photo.a happy accident :)


Here's daughter #1's:

We decided to add a little acorn cap to the birds to make a little French beret!
I've been saving acorn caps again-and trying my best not to lose them

Somehow we both ended up adding 'tweet' to the sides without paying attention to each others work (!)left side of her house

If you're here still, thanks for getting to the end of this photo heavy post :)

In case you noticed, there was a bird for my house, but it's been misplaced- maybe he'll fly home soon ;)
