Feeding the Geese!

Kade and I went to a park the other day and it was a really nice park, with lots of Geese. We sat by the bank of the water and the geese started coming over to us, and we had nothing to give them. Kade started flicking his hand like he was throwing stuff which of course made them think we had food. Pretty soon they realized it was'nt the real deal and they left. So the next day we decided to take bread to them to make up for their disappointment:) I have never fed a bird before out of my hand. It was kinda scarey! I wasn't going to do it, and Kade made me. He also said look at the camera when the bird take the bread out of your hand! So you'll see that pic below.
There was a little turtle just hanging out so I thought I would grab a quick snap of him.

There were a ton of geese! They just flocked around me!

A little up close and personal:)

There was one bird that was not scared of me and would get as close as he needed too! He is the one that ate out of my fingers!
I was scared! Kade told me to just look at the camera that everything would be ok! LOL

I love baby chicks! They are so dang cute!

My Lima Bean Wreath!

Okay, so I saw this cute idea online and decided that I loved it! I just got lima beans and a styrofoam wreath and glued the lima beans on the wreath. It was super easy. I will say that you do use quite a bit of glue and it does take some time. I bet it took me about 4 hours to make it, not including the time to spray paint it. But glue is super cheap. And I got the wreath half off at Micheals so it ended up costing me 5.80 (I think) for the wreath. I got the large size, but there is a medium one that I think would be really cute too. Infact, I'm going to make me one out of the medium, this one is for my mom for her B-day:) I think a yellow wreath with some kind of brown and turquoise ribbon would be so cute!
Half way there!
Almost done!

I spray painted the wreath red because we just painted my moms kitchen red and I thought it would look cute hanging on her front door as you come in the house!

For You Sweet Home Alabama Lovers!

Well, about a week ago we moved again:) From El Dorado to Texarkana. But that was the last move till we come home! Which is in 11 days! yippee! Can't wait to see everyone! On our way to Texarkana, we saw this store called the Piggly Wiggly and I immediately thought of the movie "Sweet Home Alabama" with Reese Witherspoon in it! So I had to snap a pic!!! There is a line in the movie when she shows up on her husbands door step to serve him divorce papers and she says, "What, did they run out of soap down at the Piggly Wiggly since I left!" LOL! I love it! There you have it, there really are Piggly Wiggly's out here in the south!
