We spent the morning watching new guests in our backyard. We were visited by 2 Stellar Jays that were hunting for worms. Such brightly colored birds that had a very successful hunt. Stephen loved to watch how fast they were as they pulled each worm out of the ground. Then quickly got disgusted when he watched them eat. (lol) He also loved their black pointy heads and described them as wearing blue jackets and black pokey hats. Ah, the imagination of a three year old.

Then Brenden and Stephen both hopped around the living room pretending to be Stellar Jays pulling worms out of the ground. Stephen couldn't help but hold his hand over his mouth after pretending to swallow his worms. There was just no convincing that it was just bird's spaghetti. Oh well. It's nice to see the boys use their imaginations and discover different things. And Stephen has been so interested in animals lately. He seems to tell me a different fact about a new animal each day. Yesterday it was all about monkeys. How monkeys eat fruit, nuts and bugs. (Again covering his mouth. lol) And that they make big messes when they look for their food. And even before our feathered friends entered our yard, he was schooling me on the facts about crocodiles. Did you know that a crocodile can kill a shark? A fact that I learned from my little animal expert. I will admit, I had to google it and it's true, Crocs have been known to kill sharks. Crazy, huh? I wonder what else we will learn today.......
