Checking the bird boxes

At the weekend we took down some of the bird boxes and looked inside of them. It was really interesting to see the different styles of nests and different birds that had used them over the Summer to raise their young....

Sadly in one we found a dead nestling that had been abandoned. Poor little thing! It was nice to see that Lloyds handywork had been appreciated though and the boxes were used - we plan to make lots more over winter and have them all through the woods - we have loved feeding our bird families this year and watching all the babies grow through the Summer - they were so sweet to watch and although some of them have ow left to fly South, some of them have stayed around and may end up staying through the Winter! We just keep buying more feeders :)

Riding in circles.....

Sam got a new bike at the beginning of Summer but didn't really use it at all the whole Summer long! Now Fall has arrived and we have cleared out the workshop and he has room to ride it around the workshop in circles he LOVES this 'racetrack' feel of riding round and round in circles and he will spend hours just riding around in circles while Lloyd is working out in the workshop! He is doing so great on his new bike!

Sam gets messy!

Sam having some slimy fun with cornflour! He loved it - we mixed in some drops of blue food colouring...then a little while later we added in some red! Then a bit later on he noticed that it had all turned white again! He thought this was MAGIC because the colour had GONE!!!! Sam loved that he could roll the solid into balls in his hands and then let it trickle through his fingers like a sticky liquid :)
