Yes, you read that right....Fancy Nancy the BIRDHOUSE. I've blogged about how much Annie is into Jane O'Connor's Fancy Nancy books before. I guess we've either created our own monster (not that she's really a monster...just umm, DRAMATIC), or shall I dare admit...she takes after her mother. Fine, I'll admit it, I was definately a dramatic kid growing up (yes Mom, I know, I did get a kid "just like me"). But really, she is actually such a doll. Anyways, where was a going...oh yes! So, I have been doing Mommy School with Annie since last September and we've been having a great time with this. This last month or so we have been learning about various things to do with winter, migration, hibernation, ice, snow, etc. A couple of weeks ago we read alot of books about migration and bought some birdseed at the local pet store to make our own birdhouse. The birdhouse sat in the back of the car for weeks and I finally decided I HAD to make this birdhouse before it was already summer! Although it would have been cute to "make our own", I opted for an easier (and I think better) option and bought a cute one at Michael's for $4.99. Two bottles of acrylic paint (chosen specifically by Annie) and a few hours later, and WA-LA, our very own "Fancy Nancy Birdhouse". Don't you just love the glitter she also insisted upon on the roof? Oh I love that girl.
This is serious painting people!
Love love love that girl!

The finished "piece"
Classic Annie
As luck would have it, a local ballet company also put on a production "Fancy Nancy: The Ballet" last weekend. Sean has been gone alot so I thought this was the perfect daddy-daughter date for the two of them. The ballet was awesome and Annie had a blast with her Dad. As Fancy Nancy would say, "it was exquisite":). I'm so lucky to have such a great husband who was not only willing but excited to do this with Annie.
Happy girl to be with her Dad.
Last but not least, I had to include a darling photo of Liesl. Yes, she's still here;). She is such a cutie and loved by all of us. She has been sick this week though....poor girl:(. I'm so lucky to be the mom to these cuties!

Great looking birdhouse and such a fun idea, now I just need to wait a couple years (hopefully I can remember this by then :)
