The Birds and the Blankets! 2/21/2010

We have had a lot of rainy days the past few weeks. I have actually enjoyed them, most of the time. I figure if it is going to be cloudy, it might as well rain!
Rain also makes me in the mood for soup. Oh how I LOVE soup! I think tomorrow calls for another batch of spicy chicken tortilla soup for dinner! YUM!
Bailia has been learning about the Inca's at school. Mrs. Tsosie taught her how to weave like the Inca's did many years ago, and she has been talking about it ever since. Bailia has BEGGED me to let her make a full size blanket for me at home for the past week. A rainy day is a perfect day for weaving, it kept her busy for HOURS! But when it came down to it, she realized a full size blanket would take forever, so she decided to make a foot/hand blanket for me instead. I think it turned out really nice, and it actually kept my hands nice and toasty! :)
While Bailia weaved her blanket, the boys painted bird houses. As soon as they were finished we filled them with bird seed and set them outside. Within minutes birds were EVERYWHERE! We all sat and watched them eat from the window. Jdog said~I bet the birds are in heaven with all of that free food! Koda replied with~ I didn't know we get free food in heaven!
