Not long ago we bought some bird seed in an effort to fatten up the local bird population. Chip was really excited about serving up some seeds. I managed to capture the whole bittersweet story.

Here we have an eager young lad transferring life-giving bird seed to a smaller bowl.

That takes waaaaay too long...better to just dump it and hang the waste.

SUCCESS! Meet our fearless bird seed flinger!

Throwing (and spilling) bird seed is FUN!

The only bad thing about being so good at throwing (and spilling) bird seed is that it is soon all gone. Hence the bitter part of the story.

But no worries! Chip knows how to sign the magic word: MORE!

Batter Up!!!

This summer, Tyler's playing baseball. So what? Tons of kids all over the state play baseball every summer. What is so blog-worthy about Tyler suiting up?

Well, first because it's my kid and on my blog that goes a long way towards determining if an item is blog-worthy or not.

Second, is the fact that Tyler's never shown one tiny bit of interest in baseball...not even when he was little and we signed him up for Tball without consulting him. Yet this year he insisted that he HAD to play baseball or his life would be ruined, and so on and so forth. And you know what?

He LOVES it! Can't wait for practice, always pestering somebody to pitch to him, loves it. He's even pretty good, which we all know didn't come from the maternal genes. Be that as it may, it sure is fun to watch my kidlet enjoying himself so much!

Here are the last photos for our April Photo a Day Challenge. Next month's words look really pretty hard, so we'll see how I do! Luke took the 'leaf' picture and I'm just delighted with how it turned out.

And the last word of the month was 'spiritual.' I took several different pictures around our church, but this one was my favorite, hands down. See what you think.
