A couple of weeks ago we started building this birdhouse with Addy and JJ. The involvement with hammers and nails and glue made me fail to get photos of A and J while they were working on it.
Both Addy and JJ are good with directions and the whole building process. Addy’s window is a little more detailed than JJ’s.
It was Addy’s idea to add the B. We had to let all the glue dry at this point and it was time for Addy and JJ to go to Awana. The finishing of the roof would have to happen at a later date.
On Monday afternoon JJ was here while Addy was at dance so we started on the shingles on the roof. The royal ‘we’ was JJ supervising me and giving me tips while he ate an orange.
Here’s an older Autumn photo of Addy and JJ.
I wanted to update y’all on the fires in our parts. The closest fire to us is 74% contained and another fire a little farther from us is 46% contained. The folks from our church who had to evacuate have been able to go back to their homes and they weren’t destroyed. We had a downpour on Sunday and that was helpful, too. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

Hello,
The birdhouse is cute! Love the photo of your grands!
I hope everyone is safe from the wildfires.
Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
The birdhouse is so cute! Great job to the grands- both kids and parents :). Glad to hear the news about the closer wildfire being almost contained. How wonderful to get rain! We hadn´t had rain in over a month and everything was parched. Thankfully, we finally got some and there´s more in our forecast.
…stay safe and well and enjoy your fall.
What a great birdhouse. A fun project with your grandchildren. Lovely the apple photo. Good that those fires are getting under control. Sounds like a lot of places had rain on Sunday. B x
The birdhouse turned out very well! Those rounded pieces for bird perches (I assume) add a nice touch. Your last snapshot of the children is sweet.
Pretty birdhouse! I hope bird tenants will move into it in spring! Glad to hear the wildfire is being contained. We are getting a lot of rain today on the front range while the mountains are getting some snow.
What a sweet project with Addy and JJ! 🪵🐦 I love the idea of the “B” and the careful teamwork. 😊 So glad to hear the fires are more contained and that your church friends were able to return home safely. Grateful for the rain and wishing you all continued safety and peace in your corner of the world.

Oh, my building that special birdhouse while bonding with the grands – so sweet!
The bird house is a great project, especially with grandchildren joining in. Ahhh the memories you all will have 🙂 Adorable photo of the two of them and that is a great birdhouse!
