robins

mama robin built a low nest in a tree in the front yard, so we've been able to keep an eye on these babies. the kids can't believe how ugly they are. i think they are lovely.

the kids made an art project in school this spring. robins. paper, glue, paint, nature and love--now on the fireplace mantel. two robins, watching their blue eggs, sitting in a nest made of a paper bowl.

i love it.
but yeah--they don't look much like the real thing.
