Once again the kids entered the local birdhouse competition, and once again it involved 1) silver spray paint, 2) the glue gun, and 3) me saying, "You want to make WHAT?"My only rule is that their birdhouses have to be created out of, basically, trash. Or -- for the more proper among us -- re-purposed materials. So this year, Catherine used a broken spice rack, Vincent used a bunch of empty plastic bottles, and Dominic used an old shoebox to create -- wait for it -- a fire station birdhouse.
To make a long story short, Catherine's pioneer log cabin birdhouse garnered her a first place ribbon and a new cedar birdhouse, which Mommy and Daddy may or may not get around to putting up before next year's competition.
