But Ellie absolutely loved painting it. She even said, "I love painting with you, Mama!" Melt my heart!
Though, I think next time we'll pick up one of the pre-made ones at A.C. Moore in the woodworking section and just paint it. It'll be cheaper, more fun, less glue, less mess, and we'll have a bird-size birdhouse for our feathered friends!
My dad said he'd send us binoculars, so we could watch and see if any birds move in!
Also, I have to admit... though highly unlikely, Mark and I were a tad worried that we may run into this situation if we left the tiny birdhouse outside...
