Thinking of You

On Sunday I was in the country and I saw 2 Missouri Bluebirds.  Immediately I thought us making our bluebird projects when we made our Me on the Map books.  Later that day we realized that the 2 birds had a nest in a hanging basket.  We peeked in there and saw 2 little blue bird eggs in their nest.

The best thing that happened today....

...was that I read Luke's KidBlog post and found out about the fun things he did on his vacation and about the book he is reading right now.

Log in and you can find out, too.
