We put up a couple of birdfeeders yesterday. The kids have always loved the ones that my parents have, and love to go out with their Grandad to fill them. They helped pick the feeders, the spot, the food, the whole nine yards.
They were pretty into it at first, but then had forgotton all about it by dinner. I went ahead and assumed that this was another one of those things that was going to fall horribly short of the expectations the kids had put on it all. (the birds aren't gonna come sit on your shoulder JUST because you gave them some sunflower seeds, ya know?)
BUT THEN, this morning--- there were like a dozen beautifully colored birds (& some of the old gray standbys) out there just having a party.
And it was like Disney World moved into the yard overnight & Santa Claus was out there having tea with the Easter Bunny. I swear, it was just like that.
