bird cookies

Another gloomy cloudy day in February. I looked at Eden and asked her if she wanted to make cookies for the birds. She suddenly jumped around and proceeded to go outside to call them to our house to let them know the exciting discovery. We got our recipe from here:

 In went the peanut butter, in went the oats, in went birdseed and flour and eggs. 
 She especially loved that she got to put the entire egg in. Squishing and scrunching them around with her hands and making a mess.

  Then some fun cut outs....and we baked them and viola!

 I used some twine we had laying around and made a mobile to hang from our window. Hopefully the birds will enjoy them and not some fat pesky squirrels. The same squirrels I might add that ate our entire garden last year. All in all, there was a whole lot of love put into these cookies of ours. We hope to see the cardinals close up that  we keep hearing all around us.
