We celebrated love of reading on Dr Seuss's birthday this week. Mom helped at the book fair, princess had a "read in" at school with favorite books in the gym. Grandma went to lunch with princess and visited the book fair. Pirate was a sick boy. He stayed at home with mom & dad, read lots, and had a special lunch of green eggs & ham. It was a good day!

Wednesday was also Great Grandpa's birthday! I had a fun project all ready to make a gift for him, but no one was interested in helping me. No worries, it was easy & I did it all by myself :) 

(found it on one of my favorite blogs...Skip to my Lou)

Birdseed hearts: Mix 2 packets Knox gelatin with 1 cup boiling water. Add 1 cup ice water & stir to thicken. Add 2 1/2 cups birdseed, pour into heartshaped mold/cookie cutter, and refrigerate 2 hours. Take out to dry 3 days. Put a ribbon in it & hang for your birdy friends!

Cute, right?

We will be making more of these. So easy, and I think it's a pretty neat-o gift.
