Nesting

No, it's not what you might think.....
Today, we became birds, robins actually. We have been studying birds for school, and this week we were looking at robins, so we decided to try our hands (since we don't have beaks) at building our own nests. We enlisted Ellia and Ben to join our robin community and took time this afternoon to create our nests. In the process, I think we all gained a grater appreciation for how God made robins. It is not easy to gather the right materials, make mud and plaster our nests, and mold them to the right shape. And we had hands to help us! And legs to move faster when carrying stuff! And cups to carry mud in. Robins do all of this with their beaks! Amazing! And, they do a MUCH better job than we could do, I am sure! I don't know that I would trust any baby robins to our nest!
