Painting the Birdfeeder

In case you didn't know, Samantha adores her Uncle Johnny. Absolutely adores him! Well, Uncle Johnny hit a home run for her birthday when he gave her a bird feeder that she could paint her very-own-self! We had Wawa, Papaw and Uncle Johnny over to join in the festivities. Much to my surprise, the bird feeder did not turn out a lovely shade of gray. Samantha did a pretty good job of not mixing the colors and letting us clean her brush. As Uncle Johnny told her, birds are going to come from miles around once word gets out how great the bird feeder looks!

Samantha's makeshift smock.

Getting a little help from Mommy, while Uncle Johnny looks on.

Always the center of attention!

Mastering the brush stroke. She seemed to be really fond of the blue paint.

The beautiful finished product!
